"Shiver" is a song by British rock band Coldplay. British record producer Ken Nelson and Coldplay produced the track for their debut album Parachutes. Lead singer Chris Martin admitted that "Shiver" was written for a specific woman, from whom the media has generated several speculations. The song contains influences attributed to American singer-songwriter Jeff Buckley, whom Coldplay's early influences were drawn from. The song's lyrics are a reference to Martin's unrequited love.

The song was released as the album's lead single in the United Kingdom and second in the United States following the single "Yellow". The single reached number 35 on the UK Singles Chart, and its critical reception has been generally positive.
