Sarrin (Arabic: صرين,[2] also spelled Serrin or Sareen) is a town in northern Syria, administratively part of the Aleppo Governorate, located northeast of Aleppo. It is situated 3 kilometers east of the Euphrates River, south of Kobanî and east of Manbij.[3]

Sarrin is the administrative center of Nahiya Sarrin of the Ayn al-Arab District.

In the 2004 census, the town of Sarrin had a population of 6,140, while the Sarrin subdistrict had a total population of 70,522 mostly Arab.[1]

During the Syrian Civil War, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant seized control of the town in September 2013.[4] In March 2015, Kurds from the People's Protection Units (YPG), alongside Free Syrian Army (FSA) rebels, launched an attack to take control of the strategic town.[5][6] On July 27, 2015, the town came under the control of Kurdish YPG forces.[7][8]
