Nashshan (Minaean: 𐩬𐩦𐩬 romanized: NŠN, Našān; modern day Kharbat Al-Sawda', Arabic: خربة السوداء, romanized: Ḵirba al-Sawdāʾ) is the name of an ancient South Arabian city in the northern al-Jawf region of present day Yemen, originally independent but later subsumed into the territory of the ancient Kingdom of Ma'in between the 6th and 4th centuries BC. Like many other city-states of the Jawf, Nashshan functioned as the name of both the city and the tribe.
The city was called Nestum in the Natural History book that was written by Pliny the Elder.
The main god of Nashshan was called Aranyadaʿ.
