The Sulawesi shrew (Crocidura lea) is a species of mammal in the family Soricidae.

The Sulawesi shrew was first described in 1921 by the American zoologists Gerrit Smith Miller Jr. and Hollister as Crocidura lea.

The dorsal pelage is short and velvety, being greyish-brown or reddish-brown and the underside is paler.

[1] Like other members of its family it lives among the leaf litter and is insectivorous and is likely to eat insects and small arthropods.

[3] The Sulawesi shrew is fairly common in some locations and is regularly caught in pitfall traps.
