Shannon MacMillan (born October 7, 1974) is an American professional soccer player. She joined the U.S. Women's National Team (WNT) in 1994 as a midfielder, becoming a forward in 2000.

She scored the game-winning goal in overtime in the Olympic semifinal against Norway in 1996, and also scored the first goal in the Olympic final against China. She was a "super-sub" on the US WNT's 1999 Women's World Cup team and the 2000 Olympic team. She earned a spot on the roster for the 2003 Women's World Cup team after making a miraculously quick recovery from an ACL tear suffered just four months before the tournament began.

MacMillan played for the University of Portland, winning the Hermann Trophy for the best female collegiate soccer player of the 1995 season. She was also US Soccer's Female Athlete of the Year for 2002.

MacMillan was one of the founding players of the Women's United Soccer Association's San Diego Spirit.

She retired from international play in 2006 at the age of 31. She finished her international career with 60 goals and with 175 caps, the tenth most of any woman in history up to that time.
