Samarien (lat./engl. Samaria) bezeichnet im Wesentlichen den nördlichen Teil des heutigen Westjordanlands (Gebiet von Nablus). Der deutsche Name Samarien leitet sich ab von der griechischen Bezeichnung von Schomron (hebräisch שומרוןgriechisch Σαμαρεία; davon abgeleitet arabisch ألسامرة as-Sāmara). Auf arabisch heißt die Region auch Dschibal Nablus / جبال نابلس / Ǧibāl Nābulus, "Nablus-Gebirge". Alle diese Namen entsprechen der Bergregion zwischen dem nördlicher gelegenen Galiläa und dem südlicheren Judäa.
