The '''Sham Chun River''' or '''Shenzhen River''' ({{zh|t=|p=Shēnzhèn Hé|s=深圳河}}) serves as the [[list of countries and territories by land borders|natural border]] between [[Hong Kong]] and [[mainland China]], together with [[Deep Bay, China|Deep Bay]], [[Mirs Bay]], and the [[Sha Tau Kok River]].

[[File:Shenzhen Rriver between Futian& Lok Ma Chau2021.jpg|thumb|City of Shenzhen and [[Yuen Long District|Yuen Long]], Hong Kong, divided by the Sham Chun River]]

It formed a part of the limit of the [[concessions and leases in international relations|lease]] of the [[New Territories]] in 1898 in the [[Convention for the Extension of Hong Kong Territory]] (known also as the Second Convention of Peking).

It separates [[Yuen Long District]], [[North District, Hong Kong|North District]] of [[Hong Kong]], and the [[subprovincial city|city]] of [[Shenzhen]], [[Guangdong]]. Its source is at [[Wutong Mountain]], Shenzhen. Its [[tributary|tributaries]] includes [[Ping Yuen River]], [[Shek Sheung River]], [[Sheung Yue River]], [[Ng Tung River]], [[Buji, Shenzhen|Buji River]] and [[Tan Shan River]]. The [[Shenzhen Reservoir]] also flows into the river when it is full.

The river flows into [[Deep Bay, China|Deep Bay]] (also known as Hau Hoi Wan and Shenzhen Bay). The [[Mai Po Marshes]] is at its [[estuary]].

Efforts have been made to alleviate flooding and pollution problems through river draining, which produced the [[Lok Ma Chau Loop]].
