Kumzar is a village in Musandam, the northernmost province of Oman. It is the second most northerly inhabited part of the country, and the most northerly inhabited part on its mainland, located on the Strait of Hormuz. The village is only accessible by boat, and its inhabitants speak their own language, known as Kumzari.

There are multiple hypotheses on the origin of the name 'Kumzar.' A large number of native Kumzaris believe that the name comes was derived by blending the two Arabic words 'kam' and 'zar,' which means 'How many people visited the village?'.

Less common views maintain that the name is a blend of two other Arabic words – 'kummah' and 'wzar,' which refer to a cap worn on the head and a wrap worn around the body.

Kumzar is located in the Musandam Governorate of Oman, and is the country's northernmost inland population center. It is located on the coastline, facing the Strait of Hormuz, and is situated between the inlets of a canyon.

Kumzar is an isolated village. With no road linking it to the nearest town of Khasab, it is only accessible by boat.
