The Shaw Library, or the Founder's Room, is a general-purpose library and a common room at the London School of Economics and Political Science. Located on the sixth floor of the Old Building, the library is accessible to all members of the university.

The library includes the Fabian Window, a stained-glass window designed by George Bernard Shaw.
