Kyle Shewfelt is a gymnast who has competed for Canada. He competed at the 2000, 2004, and 2008 Summer Olympic Games.
After receiving mediocre results at his Olympic debut in 2000, Shewfelt arrived at his second Games four years later as a potential medal threat on the floor and vault. He tied for the top spot with Marian Drăgulescu on the floor exercise routine but a complex tie-breaker system involving the lowest deductions from the four B-jury judges handed Shewfelt a gold with the latter taking the silver. He performed comparatively well-executed vaults that bore his name, a Yurchenko with two and a half twists. Despite completing a nearly perfect vault routine, his average combined score of 9.599 was worthily enough to place him fourth in the final, a 0.013-point margin short of the bronze medal won by Dragulescu. Shewfelt and his coaches immediately lodged a protest after Dragulescu's second vault, citing that his score could be insufficient with automatic deductions. Their intent to file an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport was eventually rescinded.
Shewfelt returned to his third Olympics in 2008 but failed to reach the top eight finals in either of his signature events.
