Shane Moynihan (born 1982/1983) is an Irish Fianna Fáil politician who has been a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Dublin Mid-West constituency since the 2024 general election.
[1][2][3] Moynihan is a graduate of Trinity College Dublin, where he earned a PhD in political science.
[5][6] He was a candidate at the 2019 Dublin Mid-West by-election, caused by the departure of Fine Gael's Frances Fitzgerald to the European Parliament, in which Sinn Féin's Mark Ward won the seat.

The Phoenix has also described Moynihan as an "Atlanticist" in terms of International Relations.
