Fuman (Persian: فومن)[a] is a city in the Central District of Fuman County in Iran's northwestern Gilan province, serving as capital of both the county and the district.[4]

Rice has been cultivated in this region for many years, where some indigenous cultivars were conventionally bred by farmers.[5] Fuman also produces popular cookies known as koluche. Fuman's koluche is thinner and larger than its brethren in Lahijan.

The city is also known for its statues, including the statue of the ancient Iranian goddess Anahita and the statue of the Four Girls.
