Vernon Lorden Shaw (13 May 1930[1] – 2 December 2013) was the fifth President of Dominica, in office from 1998 to 2003.[2]

Shaw was an alumnus of the Dominica Grammar School and Trinity College, Oxford.[1] He was a career civil servant, rising to the post of Cabinet Secretary in 1977, and retiring in 1990.[1] He became resident tutor of the University of the West Indies in 1991.

Shaw was elected to a five-year term as President by the House of Assembly on 2 October 1998, as the candidate of the United Workers' Party (UWP). The secret ballot, party-line vote was 18–13. He took office on October 6, 1998,[3] following the expiration of President Crispin Sorhaindo's single five-year term. Shaw left office on 1 October 2003, and was succeeded by Nicholas Liverpool. He died on 2 December 2013 at the age of 83.[4]
