Abu Ghraib (/ˈɑːbuː ˈɡrɛb/ or /ˈɡreɪb/; Arabic: أبو غريب, romanized: Abū Ghurayb ) is a city in the Baghdad Governorate of Iraq, located just west of Baghdad's city center, or northwest of Baghdad International Airport. It has a population of 900,000 (2025). The old road to Jordan passes through Abu Ghraib. The government of Iraq created the city and Abu Ghraib District in 1944.
The placename has been translated as "father of little crows" (in the sense of "place abundant in small crows"), but this translation has been suspected of being a folk etymology, and the name may be related to gharb ("west"), or ghariib ("strange, foreign") instead.
