Rmaish (also spelled Rmeish, Rmaich, and Rmeich; ) is the southernmost municipality of Lebanon, located in the District of Bint Jbeil, Lebanon, south of Ain Ebel, near the Lebanese-Israeli border covering an area of . The ruins found in the village indicate that the area was occupied by the Romans and the Crusaders at some stage in history.
In 2022, Hezbollah's construction near Rmaish sparked local anger, leading to the dismantling of the structures. Later, during the Gaza war, Hezbollah's militant activities in Rmaish led to fear, displacement, and clashes with residents, and a confrontation over a rocket launcher installation in the town center. Like most of the Christian population of South Lebanon, Rmeish residents are opposed to Hezbollah's presence in the area.
