There are many packages to read shapefiles:

rgdal with readOGR (examples) and Read and write ESRI Shapefiles with R, pointed out by Joseph
maptools with ReadShapePoint, readShapeLines,readShapePoly and readShapeSpatial as Tumbledown show ( and Read and write ESRI Shapefiles with R)
PBSmapping with importShapefile (examples) and Read and write ESRI Shapefiles with R, pointed out by Joseph
shapefiles with readshapefile (examples)
raster with shapefile (examples)
dismo with shapefile (examples)
fastshp`with read.shp (examples)
RSAGA
...

Many of the links point to a website that has recently been decommissioned, and replaced with something not useful. I have redirected the links to the appropriate cran documentation (or datacamp otherwise).
