Job Shattuck (February 11, 1736 – January 13, 1819) was an American military officer and landowner who served during the Seven Years' War and the American Revolutionary War. He first served with the Massachusetts Militia in the 1755 Battle of Fort Beauséjour. He was later active at the Siege of Boston in 1776 and then in preparing defenses at Mt. Independence and Ft. Ticonderoga later that year.

Following the end of the American Revolutionary War, Shattuck returned to Massachusetts where he was the largest landowner in Groton, Massachusetts. He was a key figure in the nation-defining 1786–87 farmers' revolt known as Shays' Rebellion, leading forces that shut down a state court in Concord. He was arrested in late 1786 on charges of treason, but was pardoned in 1787 by Governor John Hancock.
