Al-Janudiyah (Template:Lang-ar; also spelled al-Janoudiya, el-Janudieh, al-Janoodiya) is a town in northern Syria, administratively part of the Idlib Governorate, located northwest of Idlib along the western banks on the Orontes River in Zawiya Mountain.[2] Nearby localities include Shughur Fawqani to the southwest, Jisr al-Shughur 10 kilometers to the south, Bishlamun to the southeast, Kafr Dibbin to the northeast, Yacoubiyah and al-Qunaya to the north, and Maland to the northwest.

According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics, al-Janudiyah had a population of 5,295 in the 2004 census.[1] The town is also the administrative center of the Al-Janudiyah nahiyah which consists of 13 localities with a combined population of 19,642.[1] The town's inhabitants are predominantly Arab Sunni Muslims.[3]
