Romitan (Uzbek: Romitan/Ромитан, Russian: Ромитан) is a city and seat of Romitan District in Bukhara Region in Uzbekistan. The town population was 9,636 people in 1989, and 14,300 in 2016.

Archaeological evidence suggests that the settlement in what is now Romitan was founded before the Arab invasion.

Romitan has been mentioned in historical sources since the 10th century. It was a part of the Samanid state. The historian of the 10th century Narshakhi, calling it Ramtin, reports the following data:

Ramtin (and now exists near Bukhara, but is called Ramitan) has a large fortress; it is a fortified village. It is older than Bukhara and in some books it is even mentioned under the name of Bukhara.

Ramtin had been the residence of tsars since ancient times, and when the city of Bukhara was founded, the tsars began to spend only winter in this village. In the Muslim era the same thing continued.

Abu Muslim, — may God's mercy be upon him, — reached this place and lived in Ramtin, and this village was founded by Afrasiyab, who always stayed only in Ramtin when visiting Bukhara.

Persian books say that Afrasiyab lived 2000 years and was a magician. He belonged to the offspring of King Nuh. Afrasiyab killed his son-in-law Siyâvash, and Siyâvash had a son, Kay Khosrow.

In order to avenge the murder of his father, Kay Khosrow came to the area with a large army. Afrasiyab hastened to fortify the village.
