"Riverboat Shuffle" is a popular song composed by Hoagy Carmichael, Irving Mills, and Dick Voynow. Lyrics were later added by Carmichael and Mitchell Parish.

First recorded by Bix Beiderbecke and The Wolverines in 1924, the piece was Carmichael's first composition and it would become a Dixieland standard. Carmichael would go on to write many popular jazz standards, including "Stardust" (1927), "Georgia on My Mind" (1930), and "Lazy River" (1931).[1] Beiderbecke and the Wolverines released the song as a Gennett 78 record (5454-A, Matrix #11854 524). Beiderbecke also recorded a second version of the song in 1927 with Frankie Trumbauer and His Orchestra, which was released as an Okeh Records 78 (40822).
