Dammaj (Шаблон:Lang-ar) is a small town in the Sa'dahI Governorate of north-western Yemen, southeast by road from Sa'dah in a valley of the same name.

Muqbil bin Hadi al-Wadi'i established the Madrasah Dar al-Hadith in Dammaj in 1979,[1] an important center of learning for followers of the Salafi creed,[2][3] who make up the majority of the town.[4] In 2014, the non-local Salafis, including all of the students there, were evicted.[5]

The town was at the target of the Siege of Dammaj, and in November 2013, further sectarian violence between militants of the Houthi-led Shia movement and Sunnis erupted in the town, creating many casualties; some 50 had been killed by the start of the second week.[6][7] In one incident in late November, a mine exploded as a military vehicle was passing by, killing two Yemeni soldiers.[8]
