John Barden Shadegg (/ˈʃædɪɡ/; born October 22, 1949) is an American politician. He was the U.S. representative for Arizona's 3rd congressional district from 1995 until 2011. He is a member of the Republican Party.

On January 13, 2006, Shadegg officially joined the race for the House Majority Leader as an alternative candidate to Representatives Roy Blunt and John Boehner. Shadegg received the support of the National Review, the Club for Growth, and the Arizona Republic. After he did not get enough votes, he threw his support behind Boehner.

Shadegg ran for House Minority Whip following the loss of Republican control of the House in November 2006, losing to Blunt.
