The Shingwedzi River (Venda: Tshingwedzi; Tsonga: Xingwedzi/shingwedzi; Afrikaans: Shingwedzirivier; Portuguese: Rio Singuédzi) is a river in Limpopo Province, South Africa, and Gaza Province, Mozambique.

It is a left hand tributary of the Olifants River (Rio dos Elefantes) and the northernmost river of its catchment area,[2] joining it at the lower end of its basin.

The Shingwedzi is a seasonal river whose riverbed is dry for prolonged periods.

It flows eastwards across the lowveld and enters the area of the Kruger National Park.

Further downstream the Shingwedzi flows close to the northeastern side of the Massingir Dam's reservoir and joins the Olifants about 12 km down river from the dam wall.
