Robert L. Shaw (November 27, 1865 – January 22, 1930) was a politician from Alberta, Canada.

Shaw was first elected to the Alberta Legislature in the 1909 Alberta general election. He defeated Conservative candidate J.K. Creighton in a landslide to become the first MLA for the new Stettler electoral district.

Shaw would be re-elected to a second term in the 1913 Alberta general election. He won that election with a plurality of just 21 votes over Conservative challenger George McMorris. Shaw would serve the remainder of his second term before retiring from provincial politics in 1917.
