David Shaw (5 May 1917 – 14 October 1977) age 60 was a Scottish professional football player, coach and manager.
Shaw was appointed coach by manager Dave Halliday, and was described by Bobby Wishart, the inside-forward in the league championship-winning side of 1954–55, as 'the secret ingredient' in the club's success.
His team won the Scottish League Cup at the first time of asking in 1955–56, but he was unable to repeat this early success, and despite one more Scottish Cup final in 1959, he stepped aside at the end of that season, returning to his previous role as coach under Tommy Pearson.
His death was reported in the match programme for Hibs' UEFA Europa League game against Östers IF.
