Shane Prendergast (born 1986) is an Irish hurler who plays as a left corner-back for the Kilkenny senior team.

Born in Clara, County Kilkenny, Prendergast was introduced to hurling by his father, Paddy Prendergast, a three-time All-Ireland medal winner.[1] He enjoyed All-Ireland success at colleges level with St. Kieran's College while simultaneously joining the Clara senior club team. An All-Ireland medal winner in the intermediate grade with Clara, Prendergast has also won two championship medals at senior level.

He has since gone on to play a key role for Kilkenny in defence, and has won one All-Ireland medal and one Leinster medal.
