The Sheenjek River is a 200-mile long river in the U.S. state of Alaska. It begins in the eastern part of the Brooks Range and flows southward until joining with the Porcupine River northeast of Fort Yukon, Alaska. It derives its name from the Gwich'in word, written in the modern orthography, "Shiinjik," which translates as "Chum Salmon River."
