Ralph Shaa (sometimes called John Shaa) (died 1484) was a 15th century British theologian, the half-brother of the Lord Mayor of London, Edmund Shaa. Shaa (pronounced and sometimes spelled "Shaw") played a minor but pivotal role in the War of the Roses by preaching a sermon in 1483 which claimed that Edward IV had already been betrothed to another woman at the time of his marriage to Elizabeth Woodville, and that Edward V was therefore illegitimate and had no claim to the throne.

Shaa appears as "Shaw" in Shakespeare's play Richard III.
