Mason Finley is an American shot putter and discus thrower born on October 7, 1990, in Kansas City. Standing 203 cm and weighing 150 kg, he qualified for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in the discus throw.

Finley competed collegiately for the University of Kansas before transferring to the University of Wyoming. His powerful frame and technical development allowed him to excel in both throwing events, though he focused primarily on the discus at the elite level.
