Katrina May Shanks (born 12 May 1969) is a New Zealand politician who was an elected member of the Parliament of the National Party from 2007 to 2014. Shanks was elected a member of Parliament on February 7, 2007 after her resignation from Don Brash from Parliament. She was forced to leave the 50th Parliament prior to the end of the Parliamentary term. Her resignation was effective from January 2014.

The initial results for the election on 17 September 2005 (election night) would have seen Shanks elected as a list MP; but the official count including special votes resulted in Shanks not going into Parliament on the list. The number of National list seats was reduced by one when the Māori Party share of the party vote rose above 2% and they were entitled to three not two seats from the party vote. They had won four electorate seats so the number of overhang seats in Parliament reduced from two to one. As National had the 120th seat allocated under the party vote, National lost one list seat that they appeared to have on election night. However Shanks’ list position meant that if any National list MP resigned, Shanks would become the next National MP. This happened when former party leader Don Brash resigned on 7 February 2007.
