Shane Edward Smeltz (born 29 September 1981) is a retired New Zealand international footballer who played as a striker for Gold Coast City, Brisbane Strikers, Napier City Rovers, Adelaide City, Adelaide United, North Eastern MetroStars, Mansfield Town, AFC Wimbledon, Halifax Town, Wellington Phoenix, Gold Coast United, Gençlerbirliği, Perth Glory, Sydney FC, Kedah FA, Borneo F.C., and the New Zealand national team.

Smeltz spent much of his early career playing in Australia, before moving to England where he played for two and a half seasons. Smeltz has played in the A-League since 2007, with the exception of a brief stint with Gençlerbirliği in the Turkish Süper Lig. Smeltz is the all-time second-highest goalscorer in the A-League and was the top-goalscorer for now-defunct club Gold Coast United.

Smeltz has scored 24 goals in 58 international appearances for New Zealand, and played at the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
