Kahramanmaraş (Turkish pronunciation: [kahɾaˈmanmaɾaʃ]), historically Marash (Turkish: Maraş) is a city in the Mediterranean region of Turkey and the administrative centre of Kahramanmaraş province.

After 1973, Maraş was officially named Kahramanmaraş with the prefix kahraman (Turkish word meaning "hero") to commemorate the Battle of Marash. The city lies on a plain at the foot of Mount Ahır.

The findings unearthed during the research conducted in the Döngel Caves show that human settlement in the region began in the Upper Paleolithic Age and continued in the Neolithic and Early Bronze Ages. The region was located at the junction of important caravan routes connecting Syria and Mesopotamia to Cappadocia and other parts of Anatolia during the Middle Bronze Age (2000-1500 BC).
