Shane Michael Gillis (born December 11, 1987) is an American stand-up comedian, actor, and podcaster.

Gillis began performing comedy in 2012, and in 2016, along with fellow stand-up comedian Matt McCusker, he began hosting the Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast, the most subscribed-to podcast on Patreon as of 2024. 2019 was a breakthrough year for Gillis: in July, the Just for Laughs festival in Montreal named him one of its "New Faces", and in September it was announced that he had become a new cast member of the NBC sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live (SNL). He subsequently became the subject of a scandal and was fired after five days at SNL due to backlash over a 2018 clip from his podcast in which offensive language was used, including ethnic slurs directed at Asians, sparking discussion about context and intent when certain topics are used for comedic purposes.

In 2020, Gillis launched the online sketch series Gilly & Keeves in collaboration with director John McKeever, and in 2021 he released his first comedy special, Shane Gillis: Live in Austin, on YouTube. In 2023, his second comedy special, Shane Gillis: Beautiful Dogs, was released on Netflix. As of 2024, Gillis stars in the Netflix comedy series Tires, which he created with McKeever. The first season was released in May 2024, and the second season followed in June 2025.
