Robert Wilson Shaw CBE (11 April 1913 – 23 July 1979) was a Scottish rugby union footballer who played for Scotland in 19 tests between 1934 and 1939.

He did however turn out for the Scotland Possibles side for the second and final trial match of that season, on 15 January 1938.

Despite this, following the Triple Crown winning victory over England in 1938, the press proclaimed him "the greatest rugby player of his generation".

Richard Bath writes: He first represented Scotland in 1934 when he played all three of her Home International Championship matches (against England, Ireland, and Wales).

Shaw's performance was central to Scotland's 21–16 victory and he was carried off the field on the shoulders of his team-mates.
