Maskanah (Arabic: مَسْكَنَة), also spelled Meskene, is a town in northern Syria, administratively part of the Manbij District of the Aleppo Governorate.

Nearby localities include Dayr Hafir, Humaymah Kabirah and Tell Ayoub to the northwest and al-Thawrah to the southeast.

The region was under the lordship of the rulers of Aleppo until the 12th century when the Atabegs of Mosul started asserting more control.

[5] The cultivable lands of the Aleppo Vilayet, including Maskanah, were confiscated in 1876 by Sultan Abdulhamid II as his own personal property.

[3] The town lies on the left bank of the Euphrates in an area where the river bends eastwards due to a Pleistocene terrace.

[3] Maskanah lies on the border between the Syrian Desert to the south, and the northern fertile Manbij Plain.
