Anthony Shane Massey[1] (born June 28, 1975) is a Republican member of the South Carolina Senate, representing the 25th District since 2007. Massey became the Republican Majority Leader for the Senate on April 6, 2016.

On March 20, 2009, Massey announced that he would be a Republican candidate for the US House of Representatives South Carolina's 3rd congressional district,[2] but quickly pulled out, citing a desire to keep his family in South Carolina.

Massey was named a 2014 Aspen Institute Rodel Fellow.[3]

During the 2020 election, which took place during the COVID-19 pandemic, Massey voted to prevent ballot drop boxes from being used during the election in South Carolina.[4]

In June 2023, Massey endorsed Tim Scott in the 2024 United States presidential election.[5]
