Șcheia is a commune in Iași County, Romania. It is composed of five villages: Căuești, Cioca-Boca, Poiana Șcheii, Satu Nou and Șcheia. It also included Drăgușeni and Frenciugi villages until 2004, when they were split off to form Drăguşeni Commune.

Șcheia is one of the few places in Iași County with a notable history in masonry and stone-cutting (one of Romania's oldest monuments is made of Șcheia stone). [2]
