Jamla (, also spelled Gamlah, Jumlah, Jamleh or Al Jamlah) is a village in southwestern Syria, administratively part of the Daraa Governorate and immediately east of the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. It is situated on the eastern slopes of the Wadi Ruqqad valley. Nearby localities include Abdin to the south, the nahiyah ("subdistrict") center of al-Shajara to the southwest, Nafia to the east, Ayn Zakar to the northeast and Saida to the north. According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), Jamla had a population of 1,916 in the 2004 census. Its inhabitants are predominantly Sunni Muslims.

==History== Large stone ruins in the vicinity, including a rectangular-shaped building, attest to the antiquity of the site. The area features basaltic mounds called rujm, some of which rise to an elevation of 24–30 feet. Atop the rujm are circles and squares up to 10 feet wide carved into the basaltic rock.
