Žim (German: Schima) is a village and municipality (obec) in Teplice District in the Ústí nad Labem Region of the Czech Republic in Europe.
The municipality covers an area of 5.72 square kilometres (2.21 sq mi).

Žim lies approximately 13 kilometres (8 mi) south-east of Teplice, 10 km (6 mi) south-west of Ústí nad Labem, and 64 km (40 mi) north-west of Prague.

The village of Záhoří is an administrative part of Žim.

In the wider area of the village, several mineralogical sites have been described. Probably the oldest data on some of them are contained in parts of works by Ponfikla (1822) and Eichler (1823).

Around this village (namely at the southern and eastern edges) one can find the following minerals: rubellan, augite, hornblende, biotite, aragonite, small phillipsite and chabazite crystals and - reportedly - red heulandite (Reuss 1840, Hibsch et al. 1917, Hibsch 1934, Dvorak and Radoň 2001).

Note on the mineral list: the reported "heulandite" was instead red mica ("rubellan").
