Shelbiana is an unincorporated community and coal town in Pike County, Kentucky, United States.

The Shelbiana post office was located near the railroad yard until the late 1990s when US 23 was rerouted and land to build a new facility was made available near the community of Ford's Branch.

Before disbanding, the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus would stop their train while heading to their winter home in Jacksonville, Florida, and stage impromptu performances for local residence free of charge.

During the Christmas season, the Santa Claus train would pass through as it made its rounds through Appalachia delivering presents to underprivileged children in the area.

Communities in the area included Back Bottom, Greasy Creek, Ford's Branch, Dry Fork, School House Hill, and the Knoll.
