Shane Tuck (born 24 December 1981) is an Australian rules footballer, and the son of former Hawthorn footballer and VFL/AFL games record holder Michael Tuck and the nephew of Geelong Football Club legend Gary Ablett and former Hawthorn players Kevin and Geoff Ablett.

Tuck finally made his AFL debut in 2004 for the Richmond Football Club after two unsuccessful seasons on the Hawthorn list and a season with SANFL club West Adelaide. At the end of 2004 his AFL future was in question, with the last place on the senior list up for grabs between himself and Tim Fleming, Richmond contemplated delisting him. It was only due to the fact Tuck was the son of Hawthorn champion Michael, who himself had been a relatively late-bloomer that he was considered 'worth the punt' and retained.

In 2005, he had a stellar season and played all 22 games Richmond were involved in. In Round 9 against the Brisbane Lions, he signalled his amazing transformation by producing a match-winning 31 disposal performance. He became one of the AFL's premier midfielders, and won Richmond's best clubman award, as well as finishing third in the Best and Fairest.
