Lumë[1] (also called Lum[2] and Lumi[3]) is a village in the former Shtiqën Municipality, Kukës County, Albania, beside the Kirit River.[4] At the 2015 local government reform it became part of the municipality Kukës.[5] It is about 21 kilometres (13 mi) northwest of Shkodër by road.[4]
It is part of the Lumë region. According to Johann Georg von Hahn, both the village and the region take the name from the Lumë stream.[6]
