Shotwick is a small village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Puddington, on the southern end of the Wirral Peninsula in the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England.

[1] The village was located on the River Dee until it was canalised in 1736 after which the reclaimed land has since developed into the neighbouring Deeside Industrial Park.

Shotwick is recorded in the Domesday book[2] (1086), within the Cheshire Hundred of Willaston, with six households listed.

Henry II left from Shotwick for Ireland and Edward I used the port to leave for Wales in 1278.

[5] The village, including part of the hamlet of Two Mills was within the Wirral Hundred, with a population of 95 in 1801, 100 in 1851, 82 in 1901 and 70 in 1951.
