Shelley McNamara (born 1952) is an Irish architect and academic. She attended University College Dublin and graduated in 1974 with a Bachelor of Architecture.[1] She founded Grafton Architects with Yvonne Farrell in 1978.[2] Grafton rose to prominence in the early 2010s, specialising in stark, weighty but spacious buildings for higher education.[2] McNamara has taught architecture at University College Dublin since 1976 and at several other universities.

The Grafton practice was awarded the 2020 Royal Institute of British Architects Royal Gold Medal[3] and their building for the Universidad de Ingeniería y Tecnología in Lima, Peru, was awarded the 2016 RIBA International Prize, as the best new building in the world that year.[4] In 2021, the practice was awarded the RIBA Stirling Prize for the Town House building of Kingston University.[5] McNamara and Farrell shared the 2020 Pritzker Prize, architecture's highest award.[6][7]
