Nicholas Robert "Nicky" Shorey (born 19 February 1981) is an English semi-professional footballer who plays as a left-back or a defensive midfielder. He is currently employed as a coach at Stevenage of Football League Two, having most recently played for National League South club Hungerford Town.

After beginning his career at Leyton Orient, Shorey moved to Reading in 2001, where he made just under 300 appearances over seven years while helping the side reach the Premier League. He joined Aston Villa in 2008, but was limited to fewer than 40 appearances over two seasons. While with Villa, Shorey was loaned out to Nottingham Forest and Fulham. He joined West Bromwich Albion for £1.3 million in July 2010, making 53 Premier League appearances over two seasons with the club. After four years away from the club, Shorey rejoined Reading in July 2012, but could only manage 21 appearances when he joined Bristol City the following season. He spent just five months with City before joining Portsmouth in January 2014, and then Indian Super League side Pune City in the summer of 2015 for the forthcoming season. After playing in every game for Pune City, Shorey returned to England in January 2016 with League One club Colchester United.

Shorey has represented England at full international level on two occasions, with both appearances made at Wembley Stadium in 2007 against Brazil and Germany. He also made one appearance for the England B team.
