Ružomberok (; ; ; ) is a town in northern Slovakia, in the historical Liptov region. It has a population of approximately 27,000.
==Etymology== The name of the initial settlement located on today's Makovický street was Revúca (Slovak "roaring", derived from the Revúca river). In its neighborhood, German colonists build a new settlement Rosenberg named after wild roses growing in the area. This name was later adopted by Slovaks as Ružomberok.
