"Nervous Shakedown" is the fourth song on the AC/DC album Flick of the Switch, released in 1983. It was written by Angus Young, Malcolm Young, and Brian Johnson. It charted in the UK at No. 35, staying on the charts for five weeks.[1] It also reached No. 20 in Ireland.[2]

"Nervous Shakedown" was released as a maxi-single or EP in 1984. The songs included on this release are: A1. "Nervous Shakedown"; A2. "Rock And Roll Ain't Noise Pollution" (live Detroit '83); B1. "Sin City" (live Detroit '83); B2. "This House Is on Fire" (live Detroit '83).
