The Strumica (Macedonian: Струмички дијалект, Strumicki dijalekt) is a dialect of Macedonian. It is member of the center subgroup of the eastern group of the Macedonian dialects. This dialect is mainly spoken in the southeastern part of Macedonia, respectively in Strumica and in the surrounding areas. It has maintained vestiges of the Maleševo-Pirin dialect in certain terms of male kinship.
