Shivachevo (Bulgarian: Шивачево [ʃiˈvat͡ʃɛvo]) is a small town in the Sliven Province located in the Tvarditsa Valley on the southern slopes of the Balkan Mountains in central eastern Bulgaria.

Thracian earthenware used during funeral ceremonies and containing burnt bones and wheat were found in the yard of the present-day school.

After the Crimean War (1853–1856) and the new Turkish laws that followed it, a committee was established in Shivachevo in 1857 for building a church which was finished in 1859 and was given the name of St. Dimitar.

Nearby towns and villages include Nova Zagora, Kazanlak, Sborishte, Banya, and the administrative center of the municipality, Tvarditsa.

The town cultural center (Chitalishte / Читалище) was founded in 1898 and is called "Prosveta", which means "Enlightenment".
