Yes, the Shortfin Mako (Isurus oxyrinchus) is the fastest shark in the world. Though everyone had come to a general consensus about this, there is still debate as to how fast they can actually go - some say that they can only go a little over 20mph, however others say that it has been clocked at 60mph.
