Darabani (Romanian pronunciation: [daraˈbanʲ]) is a town in Botoșani County, Western Moldavia, Romania, and is the northernmost town in Romania. It administers three villages: Bajura, Eșanca, and Lișmănița.

The town lies on the right bank of the river Prut, close to the triple border between Romania, Ukraine, and Moldova.

The area is a setting for the 2019 Amazon Studios TV series Hanna and plays a significant role in the development of the titular character from that series.

The town of Darabani is located in the northern part of Botoșani County and is the northernmost town in Romania. Near the town lies the locality of Horodiștea, the northernmost point of the country (48°15’06”N and 26°42’05”E).

The town is situated on the high, northern edge of the Moldavian Plain, in a hilly area featuring rolling interfluves shaped as small, low plateaus, ranging in elevation between 125 meters (the Prut River flood plain) and 264 meters (Buleandra Hill). The natural terrain was modified in the southern part of the town through terracing.

The town's territory has an elongated shape oriented in a NW-SE direction. The main bodies of water crossing the town's territory are the Prut River and the Podriga River, along with their tributaries. The vegetation is characteristic of a hilly zone. The predominant soils are represented by cambic chernozems.

The main bodies of water within the locality's territory are:

The deep groundwater levels and the water table itself are found at an average depth of 8–12 meters, which decreases toward the valley floors, where springs reach the soil surface. There are several cold water springs, exceptionally good for drinking, in multiple areas of the town and its administrative neighborhoods and villages, such as the "Sipot" spring in Bajura.
