Shane Elford (born December 28, 1977 in Penrith, New South Wales), is an Australian rugby league player for the Huddersfield Giants in the Super League competition. He has previously played for the Wests Tigers in the National Rugby League (NRL) and his position of choice is at Centre.

Following injuries to Benji Marshall and Paul Whatuira during the 2006 season, Elford was trialled at five-eighth from rounds 21-26.
