Yakhroma () is a town in Dmitrovsky District of Moscow Oblast, Russia, located on the Yakhroma River, north of Moscow. Population:

==History== It was founded in 1841 as a settlement servicing a local textile factory on the Yakroma River. In 1901, a railway station, which later adopted the same name, was built near the settlement on the Moscow (Savyolovsky)–Kimry (Savyolovo) line. The settlement was granted town status in 1940. On 27 November 1941, the German Army briefly took the Moscow-Volga Bridgehead at Yakhroma's railway station a day after reaching the outskirts of Kashira.
