Jaramana (Arabic: جرمانا‎) is a city in the Rif Dimashq Governorate in southern Syria.

Its location, 10 Kilometers southeast of the Syrian capital, makes it a bustling town in the greater Damascus metropolitan area, with a Christian and Druze majority. Since 2003 and the beginning of the Iraq War, large numbers of Iraqi have immigrated to Jaramana, swelling the population from around 100,000 to over 250,000. Although the official population was listed as 25,445. 70% of the city is residential.

There is also a Palestinian refugee camp near the town bearing its same name. Jaramana is a favorite destination for Iraqi Assyrians fleeing their unstable country.

In October 2006, the Assyrian community in Jaramana finally received a priest from Mosul, Iraq. The priest, Arkan Hana Hakim, claims there are now 2000 Assyrian Iraqis in Jaramana alone.
