The Principality of Murom (Russian: Муромское княжество), also referred to as the Murom-Ryazan Principality (Russian: Муромо-Рязанское княжество) until the mid-12th century,[1] was a principality with its capital in Murom, now in Vladimir Oblast, Russia. Murom lay in an area that was strongly Finnic and for much of its medieval history, located in the homeland of the Muromians. In 1392, it was incorporated into the Grand Principality of Moscow.
