Srobbin, Surubbin, (ar| صربين ) is a municipality in the Bint Jbeil District in southern Lebanon. The municipality is located in the region of Nabatiye about 27km away from the region's capital Nabatiye and about 83km away from Lebanon's capital Beirut.
According to E. H. Palmer, Srobbin comes from a personal name.[1]
In 1852, Edward Robinson noted the village (Seribbin) on his travels in the region.[2]
In 1881, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described it as: "a small stone village, containing about eighty Metawileh, situated on hill-top, with olives and arable cultivation; springs near, and cisterns and birket."[3]
In 2014 Muslims made up 99.49% of registered voters in Srobbin. 98.36% of the voters were Shiite Muslims.[4]
