Shaun Maher (born 10 June 1978 in Finglas, Dublin) is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a defender for Drogheda United.

Maher played football at under-age level for Stella Maris and signed for Bohemians in 1996. He made his first team debut in the UEFA Cup away to Dinamo Minsk in July 1996. Having established himself as a first team regular, he was enticed away to Kevin Keegan's Fulham in December 1997. He struggled to gain a regular first team spot at Craven Cottage and signed for Bohs on his return in September 1998. He enjoyed a tremendous season in 2000/01 when winning the "Double" of League of Ireland and FAI Cup. He also scored the equalising goal against Aberdeen in a 2-1 win in the UEFA Cup that season.

After playing and scoring in the Champions League qualifiers in the summer of 2001, Maher moved to A.F.C. Bournemouth where he played until 2007. In December 2007, Maher returned home and signed for Drogheda United.
