The Pribilof Island shrew (Sorex hydrodromus or Sorex pribilofensis) is a small, short tailed species of mammal in the family Soricidae (shrews). It is endemic to and found only on Alaska's Pribilof Islands. Due to its distinct tricoloured coat, it was originally thought to be related to the Arctic shrew (Sorex arcticus), but it is in fact much closer to the Cinereus shrew (Sorex cinereus) in its geographical distribution and morphological traits.
