Al-Husn (Arabic: الحصن, also spelled al-Hisn) is a large village in northwestern Syria, administratively part of the Homs Governorate, located west of Homs and north of the border with Lebanon.
Nearby localities include al-Huwash to the east, Anaz to the southeast, Aridah to the south, al-Zarah to the southwest, Zweitina to the west, al-Nasirah and Marmarita to the northwest, Muqlus to the north and Mazinah to the northeast.
According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), al-Husn had a population of 8,980 in the 2004 census.
It is the largest village in the al-Huwash nahiyah ("subdistrict"), which consisted of 19 localities with a collective population of 24,684 in 2004.
The village has since developed with little civic planning, which has resulted in urban sprawl surrounding the fortress.
