Shane Stephen Rattenbury (born 25 August 1971) is an Australian politician currently serving as as a member of the multi-member district unicameral Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly since 2008 and as the leader of the ACT Greens since 2012. Rattenburry has represented the electorate of Kurrajong since it's inception in 2016 after a redistribution that abolished the former electorate of Molonglo which he represented from 2008.

Rattenbury has previously served as the Attorney-General of the Australian Capital Territory, as well as several other ministry positions in coalition governments with ACT Labor. He was previously the Speaker of the ACT Legislative Assembly, and was the first Speaker in any parliament in the world representing a Green political party.
