Shane John Jurgensen (born 28 April 1976 in Redcliffe, Queensland) is a former Australian cricketer. He has played for Queensland, but has also played for Western Australia, Tasmania, and the Sussex Cricket Board in English county cricket.

He was talented fast bowler who rose to prominence on the Queensland club scene in the early 1990s, Jurgensen failed to find a place in his home state's side due to the strength of their bowling attack. He moved to Western Australia cricket team, where he managed to make his first class debut. After a couple of seasons with Western Australia, he again moved, this time south to Tasmania cricket team, where he played some of his best cricket for state, including a hat-trick against New South Wales, and a record 11 wickets in the 2002-03 Pura Cup final against his home side, Queensland cricket team.

Following his success with Tasmania cricket team, he returned to Queensland cricket team, finally fulfilling his dream of representing his home state. However, he failed to get regular call-ups for the state, and missed all of the 2005-06 season, although still retained his state contract.

Jurgensen was New Zealand's bowling coach between 2008 and 2010 and was also a coach of New Zealand Cricket's high performance programme.

In February 2016, he was appointed as bowling coach of New Zealand cricket team for 2016 ICC World Twenty20 in India, New Zealand tour of Zimbabwe and New Zealand tour of South Africa.
