Shrum Mound is a Native American burial mound in the central Ohio city of Columbus. The mound was created around 2,000 years ago by the Pre-Columbian Native American Adena culture.

Shrum Mound is named after the family who owned the farm that Shrum Mound was once situated on. Ohio History Connection is the current owner of the mound after receiving the property as a donation from the late Ohio governor James E. Campbell.

In 2015, the Ohio History Connection removed the 18 or so trees located on top of the mound, citing preservation as the reason. One concern was the possibility of a strong storm knocking down a tree and causing damage to the mound.
