The Oromia Special Zone Surrounding Finfinne ({{langx|om|Godina Addaa naannawa Finfinnee}}) is a zone in Oromia Region of Ethiopia that surrounds Addis Ababa (also known as Finfine: literally "natural spring", in the Oromo language). It was created in 2008 from parts of North Shewa Zone, East Shewa Zone, Southwest Shewa zone and West Shewa Zones. The zone was created to support the cooperation and development of the surrounding areas of Addis Ababa, and to control the urban sprawl of the city on the lands of Oromia. The administrative center of this zone is in Addis Ababa (Finfinne). The districts and town in this zone include Akaki, Bereh, Burayu, Dubra, Holeta Town, Koye Feche, Mulo, Sebeta Hawas, Sebeta Town, Sendafa Town, Sululta, Walmara, Laga Xafo Laga Dadhi, Galaan, Sebeta Hawas (Town) and Dukem.{{citation|title=Urbanization in Small Cities and Their SignificantImplications on Landscape Structures: The Casein Ethiopia|url=https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/12/3/1235/pdf|access-date=February 8, 2020}}
