The Ševčiny mine (Czech: Ševčinský důl, also důl Ševčiny or šachta císaře Františka Josefa I or francšachta) is a retired silver and lead ore mine at Březové Hory, Czech Republic. Today the mine is a Czech national monument and is managed by the Mining Museum Příbram.

The mine was given its name according to the Ševčiny vein, which was one of the most important veins in the mineral district Březové Hory.

The maximum depth reached at the Ševčiny mine was 1,108.2 meters in 1914. The mine consists of 35 levels and, like most mines in the area, is connected with the other mines by the Dědičná adit. The pit profile is 5.4 x 3 m.
