Shane Elizabeth Gould AM MBE (born 23 November 1956) is an Australian former competition swimmer.

In 2018, she won the fifth season of Australian Survivor, becoming the oldest winner of any Survivor franchise.

Gould was born in Australia, but spent most of her childhood in Fiji after she and her family moved there. After her 1972 Olympic performance, Gould was named the Australian of the Year, and received an MBE in 1981. In April 2018, Gould was awarded an Order of Merit by the Australian Olympic Committee.
