The 1946–47 County Antrim Shield was the 58th edition of the County Antrim Shield, a cup competition in Northern Irish football.[1]

Linfield won the tournament for the 20th time. The final was not played as Belfast Celtic would not agree to the proposed fixture date of 11 June and the trophy was subsequently awarded to Linfield.[2][3]
