Shane Wakelin (born 12 August 1974) is a former Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.
Recruited from the Port Adelaide Football Club in the SANFL in the 1992 AFL Draft, Wakelin debuted in the AFL in 1994 with the St Kilda Football Club. He was noted as a hard-working defender at the Saints and was part of a defensive combination with his twin brother Darryl during the mid to late 90s which was considered very effective.
Wakelin played just 4 games in 2000 and became disgruntled, he was later picked up by the Collingwood Football Club where he reignited his career and continued his trademark consistency out of defence.
He signed on for the 2007 season knowing he would probably spend much time in the reserves. Due to injuries to other Collingwood backmen, however, he was often selected and was crucial in defence for Collingwood that year. For the 2008 season, due to the sudden retirement of former backman James Clement, Wakelin agreed to another season for the Magpies.
At the end of the 2008 season Wakelin retired after Collingwood bowed out of the preliminary final against St. Kilda.
