Dato' Seri Shaziman Abu Mansor (born 20 January 1964) is a Malaysian politician, a prominent member of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), and the former Works Minister of Malaysia.
Born as a son of a Malayan Railway worker in Ipoh, Perak, Shaziman was raised in Tampin, Negeri Sembilan, receiving primary education at Tunku Besar Tampin Primary School. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Tri-State University (now Trine University), Angola, Indiana, USA and a Diploma in Civil Engineering from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia.
Shaziman entered Malaysian politics in 1991, at the age of 27 years, as a member of the Tampin Bandar branch of UMNO in Tampin. Shaziman rose within the ranks of UMNO until he was picked as the head of UMNO Youth in 1997, followed by his appointment as the head of Tampin UMNO in 2001.
Shaziman was chosen as a candidate for the 1999 Malaysian general election, contesting for the Tampin parliamentary seat against PAS' Hamdan Hashim and winning by a majority of 9,979 votes. Shaziman successfully retained his seat in the next two general elections, defeating Abdul Razakek Abdul Rahim of PAS in 2004 and 2008. In 2004, Shaziman won by a clear majority of 18,084 votes (against 5,852 votes for Abdul Razakek); 2008 saw a lower share of votes in favour of Shaziman, with 13,079 votes (against 10,943 votes for Abdul Razakek).
After the 2004 general election, Shaziman was included into the Cabinet of Malaysia as the Deputy Minister of Energy, Water and Communications, under the leadership of Energy, Water and Communications Minister Lim Keng Yaik. Following Lim's announcement of his retirement as the President of Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia in 2007, Shaziman was promoted as the new Minister of Energy, Water and Communications on 18 March 2008.
