    Robin Shahar (born April 7, 1963) is an American attorney. In 1991, Shahar was involved in Shahar v. Bowers, a landmark case for LGBT rights in the United States, when she sued Mike Bowers, the Georgia Attorney General, for rescinding a job offer after he found out she planned to have a same-sex wedding ceremony. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ultimately upheld Bowers' decision to rescind Shahar's job offer. Shahar has since worked as a human rights attorney and been involved in Atlanta politics.
