Schin gorge (Schinschluch, sometimes spelt as Schynschlucht or more briefly as Schin) is a ca. 9-km-long gorge in which the river Albula flows. It forms the lowest part of the Albula Valley between Tiefencastel (Albula Region) and Sils im Domleschg (Viamala Region), east of Thusis.

As a mineral locality, it is mentioned by Parker (1973) and other authors.
