Shatori Walker-Kimbrough (born May 18, 1995) is an American professional women's basketball guard with the Phoenix Mercury of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). She was drafted with the 6th overall pick in the 2017 WNBA Draft.[1]

She is one of Western Pennsylvania's most decorated women's athletes in the region's history.[2]

On April 15, 2020, the Washington Mystics traded Walker-Kimbrough to the New York Liberty in a deal that sent 2012 WNBA Most Valuable Player Tina Charles to Washington.[3] Two days later, the New York Liberty traded her to the Phoenix Mercury on draft night in exchange for the draft rights of Jocelyn Willoughby.[4]
