Senmonorom ({{langx|km|សែនមនោរម្យ}}; {{literal translation|Delightful}}) is the capital city of Mondulkiri province, Cambodia. It is the largest city in the province with over 10,000 inhabitants.

Senmonorom (and the Mondulkiri province in general) is inhabited by the indigenous Bunong people. Bunong tribesmen and tribeswomen are often seen walking along major highways. The town is popular with NGO workers, loggers, and tourists both from outside Cambodia and from Cambodia's capital Phnom Penh.[http://www.tourismcambodia.com/travelguides/provinces/mondulkiri/ Welcome To Mondulkiri, Cambodia], Tourism Cambodia.

According to reports from Global Witness, the Mondulkiri province is facing a significant threat from illegal loggers attempting to exploit the area's virgin forests.[http://www.globalwitness.org/library/illegal-logging-mondulkiri-%E2%80%93-test-case-forest-sector-law-enforcement Illegal Logging in Mondulkiri – a Test Case for Forest Sector Law Enforcement], Global Witness. Protected areas close to Sen Monorom include Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary, Phnom Prich Wildlife Sanctuary, and Srepok Wildlife Sanctuary.

Due to rapid development, as well as mania caused by real estate speculation, land prices in Sen Monorom have boomed. Lots that cost $150 in 2008 went for three or four times as much two years later in 2010.{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20110811221348/http://asiaviews.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=11748:featuresalias2082&catid=5:features&Itemid=27 Tourists and lowlanders threaten hill-tribe ways]}}, AsiaViews, December 2010.

Phnom Doh Kromom (translated as "Virtuous Woman's Breast Mountain") is a breast-shaped hill located close to Senmonorom. Members of the Bunong ethnic group ascribe divine powers to the hill and every year hold festivals in the location.[http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Cambodian+Resort+%22Virtuous+Woman's+Breast%22+Mountain-a01073746871 Vicheka Lay, An introduction to Cambodias hidden resorts''], The Free Library.
