Bistrica e Shalës (Albanian: Lumbardhi i Shalës; Serbian: Шаљска Бистрица|Šaljska Bistrica) is a settlement in the Leposavić municipality in northern Kosovo.
In 1986, the secondary name of Šaljska Bistrica was the Slavicised version "Bistrica e Shalës".[1] The name is linked with the Albanian Shala tribe.
The village is located 12 km southeast from Leposavić, below the Kopaonik. The settlement lies on both sides of the middle flow of the Bistrica, a right tributary of Ibar. The settlement is of the scattered type (razbijenog tipa), and its cadastral area includes 787 hectares.
The toponym Crkvište is used for the area of the church ruins.[2]
The village is inhabited by an ethnic Albanian majority.[3]
