The non-life threatening wound to the leg occurred off Buttons Beach and the teenager was taken to the Launceston General Hospital by ambulance.
"Surf Life Saving [Club] members have closed the beach as a precaution and it is recommended people stay out of the water in the area until it is deemed safe," police said.
"At this stage, a shark has not been sighted in the area."
