The Shakujii River (石神井川 Shakujii-gawa?) is a river which flows through the northwest quadrant of central Tokyo, Japan. Its source is in the district of Hana-koganei-minami-chō, in the city of Kodaira. At Horifune, Kita-ku, it empties into the Sumida River. With a total length of 25.2 km and a watershed of 61.6 km², it is categorized as a 1st class river by the Japanese government.

The famous wooden plank bridge for which Itabashi-ku is named crossed the Shakujii at Nakajuku. The bridge has now been replaced by a modern ferroconcrete structure.
