Arjoun ({{langx|ar|عرجون|Arjūn}}, also spelled Arcun or Arjoon), is a village in central Syria, administratively part of the Homs Governorate, located southwest of Homs. Nearby localities include Aqrabiyah to the southwest, al-Qusayr to the southeast, al-Dabaah to the east, Kafr Mousa and al-Ghassaniya to the north and al-Houz to the northwest. According to the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), Arjoun had a population of 2,465 in the 2004 census.[http://www.cbssyr.org/new%20web%20site/General_census/census_2004/NH/TAB04-13-2004.htm General Census of Population and Housing 2004] {{webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20121204165131/http://www.cbssyr.org/new%20web%20site/General_census/census_2004/NH/TAB04-13-2004.htm |date=2012-12-04 }}. Syria Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS). Homs Governorate. {{in lang|ar}} Its inhabitants are predominantly Sunni Muslims.Smith, 1841, p. 176.

19th-century Biblical scholars identified Arjoun as "Argana" where in 854 BCE the Neo-Assyrian king Shalmaneser II fought the army of Hadadezer in the Battle of Qarqar.Conder, 1902, p. 173. Other sources insist that Argana was located somewhere north of modern-day Hama.Babylonian & oriental record, 1889, p. 42. An Ancient Roman milestone was found in the village, suggesting it was situated on a Roman road.Conder, 1892, p. 36. In his visit to Syria, James Silk Buckingham described Arjoun in the early 19th century as a small village lying below an artificial mound. At the mound's summit was the tomb of a local sheikh surrounded by a few buildings.Buckingham, 1825, p. 491.
