Shell Pocket is a rural locality in the Cassowary Coast Region, Queensland, Australia.

[1] Shell Pocket is situated between the mountains of the Great Dividing Range on either side and Big Maria Creek in the valley below.

Many spring fed streams sourced in the mountains feed the waterway and, beside the high rainfall, ensure permanent water all year round.

Like most of the Wet Tropics region in Far North Queensland, Shell Pocket mainly produces sugarcane.

[citation needed] In the 2016 census, Shell Pocket had a population of 91 people.
