Susan Seitz (née Shields) is a Canadian curler from Calgary, Alberta. She is former Canadian champion and World championship silver medalist.

Her rink, which included Judy Erickson, Myrna McKay and Betty McCracken, would go on to represent Alberta at the 1981 Canadian Ladies Curling Association Championship.
