Kudna (Arabic: كودنة, also transliterated Kodneh, Kudnah) is a village in southern Syria, administratively part of the Quneitra Governorate, located south of Quneitra in the Syrian-controlled area of Golan Heights. According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics, Kudna had a population of 1,857 in the 2004 census. Kudna is the traditional headquarters of the Nu'aym, a large Arab tribe mainly based in southern Syria. Historically and at least until the outbreak of the Syrian civil war, Kudna was a well-known pasture ground for the Arabian horses of the Nu'aym and their leading household, the Tahhan family.
