Shane McGrath (born 12 September 1984) is an Irish hurler who played as a midfielder for the Tipperary senior team.

McGrath also enjoyed much success with the Limerick Institute of Technology (LIT) in the universities and colleges series of games.

He found it difficult to break onto the starting fifteen and finished his time in this grade without any major successes on the field of play.

McGrath made his senior competitive debut for Tipperary in a National Hurling League game against Limerick in 2006.

Later that season he made his championship debut against the same opposition, however, Tipperary went on to lose a second successive Munster final to Cork.

In an exciting game Tipp emerged victorious by 3-18 to 3-16 and McGrath collected his first National League winners' medal.

[10] After a six-week lay-off and a facile semi-final win over Limerick, Tipp qualified for an All-Ireland final meeting with Kilkenny.

[11] After surrendering their Munster title to Cork at the first hurdle in 2010, Tipperray regrouped in the qualifiers and reached a second successive All-Ireland decider.

He subsequently completed a hat-trick of goals and Tipperary had a fourth by Noel McGrath to deny Kilkenny's drive-for-five and secure a remarkable and convincing 4-17 to 1-18 victory.
