The Sumatran water shrew (Chimarrogale sumatrana) is a red-toothed shrew found only in the Padang highlands of western Sumatra, Indonesia. Its natural habitats are streams in montane forests. The species is only known from a holotype, which is damaged, and was previously listed as critically endangered by IUCN. It is believed to be severely threatened by habitat loss.{{cite web| url=http://www.edgeofexistence.org/mammals/species_info.php?id=59| title=Sumatran Water Shrew Chimarrogale sumatrana| publisher=EDGE of Existence programme| access-date=25 May 2014}}
