Shane Geraghty (born 12 August 1986 in Coventry, West Midlands) is an English rugby union player who plays for London Irish in the Guinness Premiership.

In January 2007 he signed a three year deal that will keep him at London Irish until the end of the 2009/2010 season.

Shane Geraghty's position of choice is as a Centre or at Fly-half.

He attended Bablake School until 2002. At the age of 20 he secured himself a first team slot at London Irish after covering for Riki Flutey's injury and playing well. He represented Ireland rugby union team at U16 level, but has since represented England at every level up to and including International level.cite web|url=http://www.london-irish.com/Team/1st_XV/Shane_Geraghty.html|title=Shane Geraghty|publisher=London Irish|date=2008-05-09|accessdate=2008-05-09] cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/6231403.stm|title=Geraghty stunned by England call|publisher=BBC|date=2007-01-04|accessdate=2008-05-09] His goal for this season is to get an England A cap or a Senior England 7's cap. He was one of the stars of the tournament in the Summer U21's World Cup in Argentina.

He was included as one of three fly halves, in Brian Ashton's Elite England Squad for the 2007 Six Nations.
