Trajan Shaka Langdon (born May 13, 1976) is an American basketball executive and former professional player. A 6 ft 4 in (1.93 m) and 210 lb (95 kg)shooting guard, he first gained fame in the U.S. while playing college basketball at Duke University.

Following a three year NBA stint, Langdon had a very successful career in Europe. A three-time All-Euroleague Team member and the Euroleague Final Four MVP in 2008, he won two Euroleague titles with CSKA Moscow in 2006 and 2008.

On March 8, 2016, he was named the assistant general manager of the Brooklyn Nets.

Born in Palo Alto, California, Langdon moved to Anchorage, Alaska soon after. During his high school career, Langdon attended Steller Secondary School and played for East Anchorage High School. He set the Alaska 4A Record of 2,200 career points and was a 3-Time Alaskan Player of the Year.

He led East Anchorage to the 1994 Alaskan State Championship and he played in the prestigious McDonald's All-American Game, where he won the 3-point shooting contest. He was also the recipient of the Dial Award, given to the nation's top male and female student-athlete. Langdon's win marked the second consecutive year a basketball player was so honored, as Jacque Vaughn had won the previous year.

After high school, Langdon moved on to play for the highly regarded Duke University basketball team, where he set the school record for most career 3-point field goals made (which was later broken by J. J. Redick in 2006) earning him the nickname "The Alaskan Assassin". After his Freshman year at Duke he twice appeared on the popular Anchorage, AK TV sports talk show, Sports Talk Alaska. Langdon was the only guest to ever appear on the show twice.
