Shively (formerly Shiveley,^[1] Bluff Prairie,^[2] and Paradise^[2]) is an unincorporated community in Humboldt County, California.^[1] It is located 2.25 miles (3.6 km) north-northwest of Redcrest,^[2] at an elevation of 144 feet (44 m), on the right bank of the Eel River.^[1]

A post office operated at Shively from 1906 to 1965.^[2]
