Romanija (Serbian Cyrillic: Романија) is a mountain, karst plateau, and geographical region in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina, including numerous villages and towns, such as Pale, Sokolac, Rogatica and Han Pijesak. Its highest point is Veliki Lupoglav (1,652 m).^[1]

It is located about 20 km east of Sarajevo, between the neighboring mountains of Ozren to the north and Jahorina to the south.

A football club from the neighbouring town of Pale bears its name, FK Romanija.

Administratively the region was part of the Republika Srpska's region called: Region Sarajevo-Romanija^[2] (formerly SAO Romanija).^[3]

In 1991-1992 there was the so-called "Serb Autonomous Region of Romanija" ("Srpska autonomna oblast Romanija"), an autonomous region created by the Serbs, which was part of the Bosnian Serb republic during the 1992-1995 Bosnian War.^[4]

From November 1991, this region was expanded by the addition of the Serbian area of Birac (located around the town of Vlasenica) and placed under the presidency of Drago Blagojevic, and by 1992 it was incorporated into the Republika Srpska.^[5]
