Shaun Young (born 13 June 1970) is an Australian Football administrator for Eastlake Football Club, Canberra, and former professional cricketer who played in a single Test match for Australia in 1997. He played for Tasmania in Australian domestic cricket.

Early life and career Young was born in Burnie, Tasmania in 1970. He made his senior debut for Tasmania in October 1990, having played age group cricket for the state. He established himself as an all-rounder in the Tasmanian side, making his first-class cricket debut in the Sheffield Shield the following season and going on to play in over 100 Shield matches for the state side. He was considered "one of Tasmania's most reliable cricketers" who scored important runs and bowled "tight, competitive spells" for the state side. Young had played for Young Australia during their tour of England in 1995 and was in England when a replacement was required. He played in a tour match against Kent alongside Shane Lee, another replacement who was called up from the Lancashire League, and was named in the side for the final Test of the 1997 Ashes series at The Oval. He played Lancashire League cricket for Bacup Cricket Club between 2001 and 2003, as well as making seven appearances for Bedfordshire County Cricket Club in the Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy during the same period.

Young's brother, Claye Young, also played for Tasmania.
