William Franklin Shuster (/ˈʃstər/ SHOO-stər; born January 10, 1961) is an American politician and lobbyist who served as the U.S. representative for Pennsylvania's 9th congressional district from 2001 to 2019. He is a member of the Republican Party, and is a son of former Congressman Bud Shuster.

In January 2018, Shuster announced his retirement from Congress at the end of his eighth term, and did not run for re-election in 2018.[2] He was succeeded as the Representative for PA-9 by fellow Republican Dan Meuser, although redistricting meant his actual district became the 13th which was won by Republican John Joyce, and as House Transportation Committee Chairman by Peter DeFazio (a Democrat from Oregon's 4th district).
