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

He defeated Conservative candidate J.K. Creighton in a landslide to become the first MLA for the new Stettler electoral district.

As a Member of the Legislative Assembly, Shaw campaigned for a court house in Stettler, which was approved in 1913.

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.
