Kumran

Lokacija Kumrana

Kumran (hebrejski: חירבת קומראן, arapski: خربة قمران‎ - Khirbet Qumran) je antičko naselje čiji su ostaci smješteni na platou oko kilometar i pol sjeverozapadno od obale Mrtvog mora na Zapadnoj obalo, nedaleko od izraelskog naselja i kibbutza Kalia. Naselje potiče iz helenističkog perioda, kada ga je sagradio Ivan Hirkan (134-104. pne.) a uništeno je od strane Rimljana za vrijeme Velikog ustanka godine 68. ili nešto kasnije. Najpoznatije je kao naselje najbliže znamenitim pećinama gdje su sakriveni Svici sa Mrtvog mora.
