The '''Roumois''' ({{IPA|fr|ʁumwa|lang}}) is a region in the northwestern part of the [[Eure]] ''[[département in France|département]]'' in [[Normandy]], [[France]]. It is a plateau situated southwest of [[Rouen]]. Its northern boundary is the [[Seine]] downstream of [[Elbeuf]], its western boundary is the [[Risle]] valley. The plain of [[Le Neubourg]] lies to the south. The main towns of the Roumois are [[Bourg-Achard]] and [[Bourgtheroulde-Infreville]]. The landscape is similar to that of the [[Pays de Caux]] on the north side of the Seine.

The economy is mainly based on agriculture, but it is also influenced by the nearby [[Métropole Rouen Normandie|Rouen agglomeration]].
