The Shushicë is a river in southern Albania, tributary of the Vjosë. Its source is in the southeastern part of the Vlorë District, near the village Kuç, municipality Horë-Vranisht. It flows generally northwest through Brataj, Kotë and Shushicë and flows into the Vjosë near Armen, northeast of Vlorë. In late 1943 the area was the battlefield of the battle of Drashovica.
