Shane Thomas Broad (born 21 August 1974) is an Australian politician, rower and agricultural scientist. He ran as a Labor candidate for Braddon at the 2010 and 2014 Tasmanian state elections, but was not elected. When state Labor leader Bryan Green resigned from politics in March 2017, the Tasmanian Electoral Commission conducted a recount of the 2014 ballot papers excluding Green, and declared Broad elected to the Tasmanian House of Assembly on 4 April.
Before nominating for the recount, Broad worked as an agricultural scientist for the University of Tasmania, and was also a councillor on the Central Coast Council.
Broad was a member of the Australian rowing team, and competed in the World Rowing Championships from 2000 to 2003.
