Shen Lyu-shun (born 12 November 1949; Chinese: 沈呂巡; pinyin: Shěn Lǚxún) is a Taiwanese diplomat. He served as the representative of the Republic of China to the United States from 2014 to 2016.
Born in 1949 in Taipei, Taiwan, Shen is a sixth generation descendant of famous Qing dynasty official Shen Baozhen. He obtained his bachelor's degree in law from National Chung Hsing University in 1972.

Shen was named the ROC representative to the United States in March 2014, and made his first official trip there on 1 April.
Speaking at United States Capitol in Washington, D.C., United States (U.S.) on 7 May 2014, Shen lauded Taiwan's ability in playing greater role in the U.S. pivot to Asia and helping maintain regional peace for the benefit for all. He added that closer Taiwan-United States relations and improved cross-strait relations would create a win-win outcome for Taiwan, the U.S. and Mainland China. Shen made the address during an event organized by Atlantic Council which was partly done to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Taiwan Relations Act.
On 4 December 2014, on behalf of the Government of the Republic of China, Shen donated US$1 million to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Foundation to fight Ebola virus disease in West Africa.
