Shawn Sawyer (born January 14, 1985, in Edmundston, New Brunswick) is a Canadian former competitive figure skater.

In 1999, Sawyer won the bronze medal on the novice level at the Canada Winter Games,[4] skating with a bad cold.

As a junior skater, Sawyer trained at the Minto Skating Club in Ottawa under coach Alexei Tchetveroukin.

He had been training the Biellmann since learning in New Brunswick at age twelve, and he performed it in exhibition at Nationals in 2002 after winning the junior title.

In his third season as a junior internationally, he won his second JGP event, but an 8th-place finish prevented him from returning to the Final.

In his senior debut at Nationals, he placed 6th, a promising finish, and then repeated that placement at the World Junior Championships.

Following this season, he changed coaches to Annie Barabe and Sophie Richard and moved to Drummondville, Quebec.

At Nationals, he was ahead after the short program, but a charismatic comeback performance by Emanuel Sandhu pushed Sawyer down to 4th, depriving him of a spot to Four Continents and Worlds.

In 2009-2010, Sawyer was awarded the silver medal at Skate America, but placed fourth at Canadian Nationals, narrowly missing a trip to the 2010 Olympic Games by two spots.

After the Japan earthquake, the event was postponed by a month and now coincided with his commitment to Stars on Ice.
