Cyrus Shaw (January 25, 1850 – September 27, 1900) was a farmer and political figure in Prince Edward Island. He represented 3rd Kings in the Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island from 1886 to 1900 as a Conservative member.

He was born in New Perth, Prince Edward Island, the son of Robert Shaw, a Scottish immigrant, and Jane Williams, born on the island. He was educated at Prince of Wales College but was forced to end his studies after two years and return to operate the family farm after the death of his mother. In 1883, Shaw married Penelope Partridge. He died in office.

His brother Robert also served in the provincial assembly.
