Shannon is a small town located in the Horowhenua District of New Zealand's North Island. Originally established as a railway settlement in the late 19th century, the town was named after George Vance Shannon, a former director of the Wellington and Manawatu Railway Company.

The town developed around the railway industry and later became known for its market gardens and farming activities. Today, Shannon maintains its rural charm while serving as a gateway to the surrounding agricultural region. The town reflects aspects of both European colonial settlement and Māori cultural heritage, with the nearby Tararua Range providing a scenic backdrop to this modest community.
