Shane Carr is an Irish former Gaelic footballer who played as a defender for Four Masters and the Donegal county team.

His inter-county debut came in a game against Antrim in 1998. He was part of the panel during 1998 and 1999. He came back in 2001.[1] From 2001 he was part of the team until retiring in the spring of 2006.[1] According to the Sunday Independent, Carr left the panel when Eamon McGee moved ahead of him on the substitutes bench despite McGee's poor discipline and lack of dedication.[2]

Carr started the first game of Brian McEniff's last spell as Donegal manager, a league defeat to Galway in Tuam in February 2003.[3]

He played in the 2003 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship semi-final against Armagh.[4]

Carr won the Donegal Senior Football Championship with his club in 2003. He scored three points in the final against Termon.[5]
