Shively (formerly Shiveley, Bluff Prairie, and Paradise) is an unincorporated community in Humboldt County, California. It is located 2.25miles 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.

Like neighboring Pepperwood, Shively was once a center for farm produce including corn, cucumbers, and tomatoes.[1] Also like Pepperwood, it was mostly destroyed in the Christmas flood of 1964.[2] A few farms and residences remain today.
