Shaun Majumder is a Canadian comedian and actor.

Majumder was born in Burlington, Newfoundland and Labrador to a European descended mother from Newfoundland and a Bengali Hindu Indian father. He started his entertainment career as an announcer for the YTV game show CLIPS, and soon was hosting the network's popular morning kids show Brain Wash, where he was known as Ed Brainbin. He also hosted the ''Slime Tour'' segments on the popular game show Uh Oh!. Eventually he joined This Hour Has 22 Minutes in 2003, and also hosted 15 episodes of the Just for Laughs specials on television and participated in the Comedy festivals in Montreal. He was also a star of Cedric the Entertainer Presents, aired in the United States on the Fox network, and appeared in an NFB documentary on aspiring Canadian comics, ''The Next Big Thing''.

Majumder has also starred in the CBC comedy pilot ''Hatching, Matching and Dispatching'' and the short film ''Plain Brown Rapper'', as well as playing Kumar's brother in the 2004 comedy ''Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle''.
Majumder often plays an alter ego called Raj Binder. Binder is an awkward, nervous and usually sweaty Indian reporter with a strong accent. Binder first appeared in a sketch from a comedy showcase with some former YTV costars called The Bobroom, and also appeared on Just For Laughs and This Hour Has 22 Minutes. Majumder caused some minor controversy when "Raj" posed in the MegaStars group picture during the 2003 Heritage Classic NHL outdoor ice-hockey game.

Majumder made a guest appearance on two episodes of the television series ''24'', playing Hasan Numair. He also played Dr. Freddy Sahgal in the Fox TV series ''Unhitched'', but the show was cancelled in May 2008.
In 2010 he had a guest starring role as Benny Natchie in Republic of Doyle and starred in Detroit 1-8-7 as Detective Vikram Mahajan.

In the summer of 2011 Majumder was cast in ''The Firm'' in the recurring role of Andrew Palmer, the lawyer at the firm who befriends Josh Lucas' character, Mitch McDeere.
