Dylan Shane Wheeler (born December 30, 1995) is an Australian & Czech hacker known for being a member of the Xbox Underground hacking group.

Dylan was named as a co-conspirator in a sealed federal US indictment in July 2013 leaked by the The Smoking Gun which alleges the group named Xbox Underground were responsible for compromising computer networks of its targets between 2011 and 2013, most notably Microsoft and Epic Games. Wheeler's home was raided on 19 February 2013 by the WA Police in collaboration with the FBI and later charged with possession of child pornography and a stem of Australian charges similarly related to those of his US counterparts to which he pleaded not guilty. Wheeler denied possessing child pornography, saying authorities wrongly believe that images on a public server he hosted belonged to him.

He was the subject of a report on ABC's 7.30 regarding his leaving Australia to evade trial.
