The Sandhills chub (Semotilus lumbee) is a species of freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae of order Cypriniformes.

It is characterized by its robust body, large head and lack of a dark blotch or smudge on their dorsal fin which is present on the closely related Creek Chub.

Breeding male Sandhills chubs have a pinkish hue and orange fins, the adult fish tend to get up to 3.1–9.4 cm (1.2–3.7 in).

The male mostly protects the nest during reproduction, and there aren't many predatory threats to Sandhills chub eggs.

The area is surrounded by loose sand and is drained by numerous small, cold and fast-flowing streams, which allows for a number of rare plants and animals to reside here.

The main threat to the Sandhills chub is habitat alteration as more predaceous species are being introduced into the North Carolina headwaters.
