The Sumatran shrewlike mouse (Mus crociduroides) is a species of mouse in the family Muridae, described by Herbert C. Robinson and C. Boden Kloss in 1916 from Korinchi Peak in west Sumatra at about 3,050 metres. It is endemic to Indonesia and is known only from the mountains of western Sumatra, where it lives in upper montane rain forest and occurs in Kerinci Seblat National Park. It belongs to the subgenus Coelomys within the genus Mus. Mammal Species of the World notes that analyses of mitochondrial 12S rRNA sequences grouped it with Mus pahari, another member of that subgenus, and that its closest relative is the Javan Mus vulcani. It is one of a suite of murine rodents found only on Sumatra. The IUCN Red List places it in the Data Deficient category.
