The Shkumbin (Albanian indefinite form, the definite form is Shkumbini, occasionally spelled Skumbi in English) is a river in central Albania, flowing into the Adriatic Sea. It is considered the dividing line for two dialects of the Albanian language: Tosk (to the south) and Gheg (to the north). Elbasan is a large city on this river.

In ancient times, the river was known as Genusus.
