Middle Shabelle (Somali: Shabeellaha Dhexe, Arabic: شبيلي الوسطى‎, Italian: Medio Scebeli) is an administrative region (gobol) in southern Somalia.

It is bordered by the Somali regions of Galguduud, Hiran, Lower Shabelle (Shabellaha Hoose), and Banaadir, as well as the Somali Sea.

As part of the former Benadir region, Middle Shabelle's capital was Mogadishu up until the mid-1980s, when the town of Jowhar became the capital. It is named after the Shebelle River that passes through this region.
