Kaftoun (Arabic: كَفْتُون) is a small Lebanese village located along the north bank of the Walnut River, in the Koura District of the North Governorate of Lebanon.

The population of the village is approximately three-hundred, spread around seventy-four houses.

Both roots of the word lead us to believe that the village of Kaftoun was named after the domed Theotokos Monastery[2] which is carved in the red rock cliffs by the banks of the Jaouz River.

In 2014, Christians made up 98.92% of registered voters in Kaftoun.

[3] Kaftoun has three historic churches:[4] Saint Phocas Church (Mar Foka's[5]), the Church of Saint Sergius and Bacchus (Mar Sarkis[6]) 6th century, and the most famed Theotokos Monastery,[7] which houses a two-sided Byzantine icon[8] from the 11th century.
