Short Pump is a census-designated place (CDP) in Henrico County, Virginia, United States. The population was 182 at the 2000 census.

Short Pump has greatly increased population in recent years, due to its proximity to Richmond, Virginia. It has now become part of Richmond's Far West End. In 2003, developers opened 'Short Pump Town Center', a 1.2 million square foot open air shopping mall.

It is located in near many shopping centers, fast-food joints, and upscale restaurants. There is also a skating rink, bowling alley and many neighborhoods under development. There are also seven nearby schools: Short Pump Elementary School, Pocahontas Middle School, Short Pump Middle School, Byrd Middle School, Godwin High School and Deep Run High School.

Further growth is expected as increased development in West Creek Business Park in Goochland County, Virginia will bring increased population. Also, the construction underway of a high end mixed use West Broad Village will increase growth as well.
