Herbert Shutt (3 September 1879 – 19 November 1922) was an English first-class cricketer.

Shutt was born in September 1879 at Ardwick, Lancashire. For many years he was a club cricketer in Southern England at Aldershot, with Shutt being selected to play for Hampshire in the 1906 season. He made four first-class appearances during that season, debuting against the touring West Indians and making a further three appearances in the County Championship. Playing as a left-arm fast bowler, he took 8 wickets in his four matches at an average of 28.87, with best figures of 4 for 29. He later returned to the North-West, where he was engaged by Heywood Cricket Club as their professional in 1908. Shutt played minor matches for Cumberland from 1910 to 1914, with a final minor appearance coming in July 1922; he died five months later at Whitehaven on 19 November 1922, with his final words reportedly being "the last ball of the over".
