Shaun Livingston (born September 11, 1985, in Peoria, Illinois) is an American professional basketball player in the NBA. Livingston plays point guard for the Los Angeles Clippers.

Livingston, who played at Richwoods High School and then went to Peoria Central High School in Illinois, was highly touted as a high school recruit, earning comparisons to the great Magic Johnson. Livingston received a scholarship offer from Duke University, but opted to forego college and enter the 2004 NBA Draft, in which the Clippers selected him with the 4th overall pick in the 1st round.

Livingston is tall for point guard standards (6' 7") and, due to the addition of Sam Cassell to the Clippers roster, has seen playing time at shooting guard. He was an integral part of the Clippers' best season in franchise history in the 2005-06 season. Livingston recorded a career high 14 assists on February 23, 2007 against the Golden State Warriors.

In his first two NBA seasons, playing in a total of 91 games, Livingston averaged 6.3 points per game. His rookie season was interrupted by a kneecap injury that lead him to miss 39 games. Livingston suffered a severe injury on February 26, 2007 when he dislocated his left kneecap after landing awkwardly following a layup, in a game against the Charlotte Bobcats. Livingtson tore his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), medial collateral ligament (MCL), lateral meniscus, dislocated his patella, and dislocated his tibia-femoral. The damage is such that recovery will take 8-12 months to return and he may miss the 2007-2008 NBA season. The injury was so severe that ESPNEWS warned viewers of the graphic nature of the video clip before airing it. Livingston has been riddled by injuries during his short NBA career, missing 147 of 246 possible games since 2004.
