Shane Kersten (born 15 March 1993) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Fremantle Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He previously played for the Geelong Football Club from 2012 to 2016. He was recruited from the South Fremantle in the West Australian Football League (WAFL) with the thirty-fourth selection in the 2011 AFL draft.

Kersten was considered to make his AFL debut in the 2013 preliminary final, but due to a knee injury had to wait until round 14 of the 2014 AFL season to be selected. He kicked three goals in his debut game and was a standout despite Geelong losing to Gold Coast by 40 points. Kersten celebrated his first win the following week against Essendon when he kicked two goals as Geelong. After making his debut Kersten struggled at times to maintain his spot in the side but developed into a second forward target alongside Tom Hawkins, as well as an effective defenside.

At the conclusion of the 2016 season, after not playing in Geelong's two final series games, Kersten was traded to Fremantle in return for selection 63 in the 2016 AFL draft.

In his first season at the Dockers, Kersten kicked 24 goals from 20 games, coming second in Fremantle's goal kicking leaderboard. His most noted performance came in Round 5 against North Melbourne at Doman Stadium. With only 40 seconds left in the final quarter, Kersten brilliantly snapped a late running goal from the deep right pocket, giving Fremantle a 5-point edge, leading them to victory.
