Shayna Powless (born January 8, 1994) is an American former professional racing cyclist.[4] She is of Oneida heritage through her father[5] and is a citizen of the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin.[6]

She grew up in Sacramento, California[1] and played a variety of sports whilst growing up, but initially gravitated towards mountain bike racing during her high school years.[2] In 2013, Powless was crowned Under-23 US national mountain bike champion in her first season in that age category.[7]

She took up road bicycle racing when she joined the cycling team at the University of California, Los Angeles.[2][7] She signed to ride for the UCI Women's Team Virginia's Blue Ridge–Twenty28 for the 2019 women's road cycling season.[8]
