Norman Leslie Shelton, CBE (28 June 1905 – 14 July 1980) was a New Zealand politician of the National Party.

Shelton was born on 27 June 1905 in Taihape and was subsequently educated at Fielding Technical School.

[4] Prime Minister Keith Holyoake was unsure as to Shelton's inclusion into cabinet after National's win in 1960.

Deputy Prime Minister Jack Marshall was convinced of Shelton's administrative ability and ensured Holyoake gave him a place in cabinet.

[2] A man of undoubted ability, he lacked the charisma and ambition to pursue the leadership of the party and by 1970 he was suffering ill-health due to a gall bladder ailment which induced him to retire.

[2] In the 1973 Queen's Birthday Honours, Shelton was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire, for public services.
