The Shkumbin (; ) is a river in Albania. It is long and its drainage basin is . Its average discharge is .
== Etymology == It derives from Latin Scampinus (recorded alternatively as ), which replaced the Illyrian name of the river: Genusus (recorded in , also , and in ). A Slavic intermediation has been rejected. Its inclusion in Latin loanwords into Proto-Albanian and phonetic evolution coincides with the historical existence of a large Roman town (near present-day Elbasan), which gave the river its new name.
