Shawangunk Ridge (ou Shawangunk Mountains, ou encore The Gunks) est une chaîne de montagnes située dans l'État de New York, qui fait partie des Appalaches. Elle s'étend à la frontière de l'État du New Jersey.

L'orthographe est une approximation néerlandaise du mot Lenape « Chongumme » (/ˈʃɑŋgʌm/) et plusieurs des résidents locaux le prononcent de cette manière.
