Shawn Michael Redhage (born 21 January 1981) is an American-Australian professional basketball player for the Perth Redbacks of the State Basketball League (SBL). He played four years of college basketball for Arizona State University before moving to Australia in 2004 to play professionally. After spending time in the SEABL and with the New Zealand Breakers, Redhage joined the Perth Wildcats in 2005 and went on to become one of the franchise's all-time great players.

Throughout an illustrious career, Redhage cemented his status in NBL history with a number of accolades, having won four NBL titles (2010, 2014, 2016, 2017) while featuring in four All-NBL teams (2008, 2009, 2010, 2013) and winning the Gordon Ellis Medal as the Perth Wildcats most valuable player six times—tied with Ricky Grace for most by a player in the team's history. He also captained the team from 2009 to 2013. Known as "The Scoring Machine", Redhage spent his early years in the NBL as a force on the interior before becoming known for his knockdown ability from deep as his career progressed.

Redhage was born in Jacksonville, Florida but grew up in Lincoln, Nebraska. He attended Lincoln East High School, where he played for the school's basketball team in each of his four years. He averaged 22.1 points and nine rebounds in 1997–98 and 21.0 points and 9.4 rebounds in 1998–99. He led the team to a 19–3 record in senior season (1998–99) and was subsequently named Nebraska Player of the Year (honorary captain) and Class A first-team all-state by the Omaha World-Herald. He ended his career as the school's career leader for rebounds (554), assists (315) and blocks (235), while finishing second in points with 1,206. He also became the second Lincoln East player (after Alex Stivrins in 1979–80) to make the Omaha World-Herald All-Nebraska first-team as a junior and senior.
