Shiver is a pop song by Australian singer Natalie Imbruglia from her third album, Counting Down the Days (2005). It was released as the album’s lead single on 21 March 2005. The song was written by Imbruglia, Francis White and Shep Solomon, and produced by Stephen Lipson.

Shiver reached number 8 on the UK Singles Chart, number 19 in Australia, and topped the charts in Hungary, while it peaked at number 6 in Italy. It was Britain’s most broadcast track in 2005 and was one of Europe’s most-played songs that year, helping make Imbruglia popular across Europe after her hit "Torn." The song has been covered by Maxïmo Park on BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge, and Lara Krost performed it on Australian Idol.

In 2006, Shiver received APRA nominations for Most Performed Foreign Work and an Ivor Novello Award nomination for Most Performed Track. By 2011, it had sold about 500,000 copies worldwide.

The music video, directed by Jake Nava and filmed in Kyiv, Ukraine in late 2004, was inspired by The Bourne Supremacy. It features Imbruglia as a fugitive, driving and evading pursuers, changing appearance, and ending at home reflecting on the day's events. The video began airing in early 2005.
