Shirley Englehorn (born December 12, 1940 in Caldwell, Idaho, U.S.) is an American professional golfer. She won 11 tournaments during her LPGA Tour career, including one major, the 1970 LPGA Championship. That proved to be her last win as shortly afterwards she had to have an operation on her ankle. She later became a golf instructor, and won the LPGA Teacher of the Year Award in 1978.
