Paul Kenneth Shuey (born September 16, 1970 in Lima, Ohio), is a former Major League Baseball relief pitcher who last played for the Baltimore Orioles.

He played most of his career for the Cleveland Indians from 1994 to 2002. He made 4 playoff appearances with the Indians. On July 28, 2002, before the trade deadline, Shuey was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Ricardo Rodríguez, Terry Mulholland, and Francisco Cruceta. Shuey would play for the Dodgers until the end of the 2003 season. In 2004, he spent the whole year on the disabled list with an injured right thumb.[1] In 2005, he attempted a comeback, but retired on April 27 due to pain in his right hip. He would then sit out the whole 2006 season. On February 2, 2007, he signed a minor league contract with the Orioles that included an invitation to spring training. He suffered an injury and did not make the cut, and was sent to the Norfolk Tides, the Orioles' Triple-A affiliate. His contract was then purchased on June 19, 2007, and he appeared in that night's game against the San Diego Padres. On July 1, 2007, he recorded his first save since 2002 against the Los Angeles Angels. On September 5, Shuey was released. Shuey now lives with his family in Wake Forest, North Carolina.

The Dodgers are still fighting with Hartford Life Insurance Co. over Paul Shuey's $3.25MM salary for the 2004 season, reports Bill Shaikin of The Los Angeles Times. The team sued the insurance company in 2006, saying they didn't honor their claim when the right-hander did not pitch that season due to injury
