Shacklefords is an unincorporated community in King and Queen County, Virginia, United States.

The family likely took its name from the village of Shackleford, in the English county of Surrey, which adjoins Hampshire and is not far from London.

A North Carolina barrier island, Shackleford Banks, is named for descendants of the family, as is Shackelford County, Texas.

An Orange, Virginia branch of the Shackelford family also counts President Thomas Jefferson and his wife Martha Wayles as ancestors.
