Shawn David Vincent (born June 2, 1968) is a former professional American football defensive back who played in the National Football League.

Vincent was born in Bellaire, Ohio. He attended St. Clairsville High School, where he was named all-conference as both quarterback and defensive back in 1986[1] and accepted a scholarship to play college football for the University of Akron as a defensive back.[2][3] He left Akron to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1991,[4] during which he intercepted two passes from decorated quarterback Warren Moon in a single game.[5] Vincent attended summer training with the Steelers prior to the 1992 season, but it was announced in July that he had left camp,[6] and he was not on the 1992 final roster.
