Norman Shrapnel (5 October 1912 – 1 February 2004) was an English journalist, author, and parliamentary correspondent.
Shrapnel was born in Grimsby, Lincolnshire, and was educated at The King's School, Grantham. In 1947, after war service in the RAF, he joined the Manchester Guardian as reporter, book reviewer, and theatre critic.

In 1969 he won the first Political Writer of the Year award.〔("Norman Shrapnel Obituary" ), ''The Guardian'', 2 February 2004〕
He wrote books on history and politics (''The Performers: Politics as Theatre'' 1978, and ''The Seventies''), and on topography (''A View of the Thames'' 1977, and his ''Shrapnel's British Isles'' series, documenting places such as the Isle of Ely and the Isle of Axholme). For ''The Bluffer’s Guides'', he wrote ''Bluff Your Way in Politics''. Shrapnel broadcast on the BBC World Service, presenting British social and political life.〔
He married Mary Lillian Myfanwy Edwards in 1940, and had two sons, one of whom is the stage actor John Shrapnel. He died at Far Oakridge, Gloucestershire, in 2004.
