Kafr Rumah (Arabic: كفر ومة‎‎, also spelled Kafrumah or Kfar Ruma) is a town in northwestern Syria, administratively part of the Maarrat al-Nu'man District of the Idlib Governorate. According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics, Kafr Rumah had a population of 12,276 in the 2004 census.[1] Its inhabitants are predominantly Sunni Muslims.[2] Nearby localities include Hass, Syria and Kafr Nabl to the west, Sarjah to the north, Maarrat al-Nu'man to the east and Hish to the south.

Kafr Ruman contains ancients ruins. Among them is a bridge consisting of slabs built on ten pillars instead of the typical style of Roman and Byzantine-era bridges in the Levant and elsewhere, which were held up by arches.[2]
