Shane Christie was a New Zealand rugby union player and coach. Christie made appearances with Tasman, the Highlanders, and the Māori All Blacks. After repeated concussions ended his rugby career, he became an advocate for greater recognition of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). He died at the age of 40 and was posthumously confirmed as the second known case of CTE in New Zealand professional rugby.
