Lyle Shelton (born 11 July 1969)[1] is an Australian conservative political activist. He served as managing director of the Australian Christian Lobby (ACL) from 2013 to 2018.[3] He was one of the leaders of the "No" campaign in the Australian Marriage Law Postal Survey. In 2018, he resigned from the ACL to become federal communications director of the Australian Conservatives political party.[4] Shelton has been employed by Oodgeroo MP Mark Robinson since at least August 2019.[5][6] In April 2021, Fred Nile announced he would retire in November 2021, nominating Shelton to replace him for the balance of his term ending in March 2023.[7] This endorsement was withdrawn in September 2021, with Nile deciding to serve the remainder of his parliamentary term. On 27 May 2022, Family First National Chairman Tom Kenyon announced that Shelton had been appointed as the National Director of the party.[8]

Since 2022, Shelton has presented a program on ADH TV.[9]
