  • Ла́рри Дуайт Шинн (англ. Larry Dwight Shinn; род. 16 января 1942; , Огайо) — американский религиовед, индолог и теолог, ректор Берия-колледжа (1994—2012), пастор методистской церкви. Шинн опубликовал исследования по индийским религиям и межрелигиозному диалогу. Он также много писал и выступал по тематике новых религиозных движений, в частности по «промыванию мозгов» и антикультовому движению в США. С конца 1960-х годов Шинн специализируется на изучении Международного общества сознания Кришны (ИСККОН). В 1987 году выпустил монографию «Тёмноликий Господь» (The Dark Lord: Cult Images and the Hare Krishnas in America), посвящённую тематике гаудия-вайшнавизма и ИСККОН в США. Ларри Шинн был одним из первых западных учёных, выступивших в защиту кришнаитов от критики антикультового движения и признавших религиозную аутентичность ИСККОН как одного из течений индуистской традиции вайшнавизма.
