Naro-Fominsk (Russian: На́ро-Фоми́нск) is a town in Moscow Oblast, Russia, situated 70 km southwest from Moscow, on the Nara River. The Moscow – Kiev railway passes through the town. Population: 70,475 (2002 Census).

The settlement was first mentioned in chronicles in 1339, while it was under the rule of Ivan Kalita. The modern town of Naro-Fominsk was established as an urban-type settlement as a result of the merger of the villages of Fominskoye and Malaya Nara in 1925. Town status was granted to it in 1926. The town was severely damaged during the World War II, after Nazi Germany forces destroyed 687 buildings and a textile factory.

The town is home to the 4th Guards Kantemirovskaya Tank Division, part of the Moscow Military District.
