Sheviock (Cornish: Seviek) is a coastal civil parish and a hamlet in south-east Cornwall, United Kingdom. The parish is two miles (3 km) south of St Germans and three miles (5 km) south-west of Saltash[1].

Sheviock parish is in the St Germans Registration District and the population in the 2001 census was 683. To the north, the parish is bordered by St Germans Creek (the tidal estuary of the River Tiddy, also known as the Lynher River) and to the south by the sea. To the east, Sheviock is bordered by Antony parish and to the west by Deviock parish.

The parish church of St Mary stands in the hamlet of Sheviock at OS Grid Ref SX370550: the building is of the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries. Two late 14th century tombs are thought to be of three members of the Courtenay family.[2]
