Komchén is a community in the Mérida Municipality in the state of Yucatán, located in southeastern Mexico.

Komchén is located 15 kilometers north of the city of Mérida, in the northwestern portion of the Yucatán Peninsula and is approximately 20 km from the northern peninsular coast.

Its earliest settlement consisted of a small residential community with perishable structure.

Archaeological investigation of the site commenced during the early 1980s when a research project, under the direction of E. Wyllys Andrews V of the Middle American Research Institute (MARI) of Tulane University, began excavating at Komchén.

[3] This research documented nearly 1000 residential structures in an area approximately 2 km2 in size, including a core of five large platforms (the tallest of which was 8 meters) and a sacbe (one of the earliest identified in the Yucatán) (Andrews et al. 1984).
