Al-Mazmum is a village in Sennar State in Sudan.[1] In 1973, it was described as a large village.[2]

In 2002, Sudan accounted for more 70% of the global cases of Guinea worm disease and most of the indigenous cases of the disease in Sudan originated in Al Mazmoum.[3] In 2007, residents protested a lack of basic services and called for the merger of the Al-Dali, Al Mazmum and Al-Tadamoun areas.[4] In 2016, violent clashes took place between nomads returning from South Sudan and farmers in the area.[5]

A hill in the area is known as Jebel Mazmum.[6]
