Terence Windsor Shaw (born 9 August 1962) is a Welsh former rugby union international.

Born in Ystrad Mynach, Shaw was a Newbridge lock who was capped once for Wales, as one of six debutants against Romania in Bucharest in 1983.[1] The 21-year old was normally a front-jumper but was placed in the middle of a line-out which performed poorly, as Wales lost 6–24 to the hosts and he was never picked for Wales again.[2][3]

Shaw, an engineer by profession, had a stint with New Zealand club Pleasant Point in 1986 and represented the provincial team South Canterbury in a match against the touring Wallabies. He also played some rugby with Cardiff RFC.[4]
