Shively (formerly Shiveley, Bluff Prairie, and Paradise) is an unincorporated community in Humboldt County, California. It is located 2.25 miles (3.6 km) north-northwest of Redcrest, at an elevation of 144 feet (44 m), on the right bank of the Eel River.

A post office operated at Shively from 1906 to 1965.
