Qaqun (Arabic: قاقون) was a Palestinian Arab village located 6 kilometers (3.7 mi) northwest of the city of Tulkarm at the only entrance to Mount Nablus from the coastal Sharon plain.[7]

Evidence of organized settlement in Qaqun dates back to the period of Assyrian rule in the region. Ruins of a Crusader and Mamluk castle still stand at the site.[8] Qaqun was continuously inhabited by Arabs since at least as early as the Mamluk period[8] and was depopulated during a military assault by Israeli forces during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war.
