Farwana (), was a Palestinian village, located south of Bisan, depopulated in 1948.

==History and archaeology== ===Identification and periods of settlement=== The tell, or archaeological mound, of Tell es-Sarem (Arabic name) or Tel Rehov (Hebrew name) is located on the former village's lands. The tell, which stands about 800 metres southeast of the village site, has been identified with the ancient Canaanite and Israelite city of Rehov. It was one of the largest cities in the region during the Late Bronze Age (1550–1200 BCE) and Iron Age I-IIA (1200–900 BCE). During the Late Bronze Age, Egypt ruled over Canaan, and in this time period Rehov was mentioned in at least three sources dated between the 15th-13th century BCE, and again in the list of conquests of Pharaoh Shoshenq I, whose campaign took place around 925 BCE.
