George Wenham Shaw (usually published as "G.W. Shaw") (28 April 1928, in Stalybridge, Cheshire – 27 November 2006, in Grantchester) was a biologist and leading British expert on academic dress. He designed the academic robes for the University of Bath UK, Trent University, Ontario and Universidad Simón Bolívar, Venezuela. Shaw was also a patron of the Burgon Society, who are responsible for publishing a third, posthumous, edition of Shaw's Academical Dress.
