Almoharín (Spanish pronunciation: [al.mo.aˈɾin]) is a municipality located in the province of Cáceres, Extremadura, Spain. According to the 2005 census (INE), the municipality has a population of 2050 inhabitants.

The village's economy is primarily agricultural, with many inhabitants having fincas of olives and figs. Almoharin is known^{[by whom?]} as the 'Fig Capital of the World' on account of these figs, which are green and smooth-textured. Both dried figs and chocolate figs are exported worldwide. The village also has a cheese-making workshop where visitors can make their own cheese - after milking the sheep. There is an accompanying exhibition of the history of sheep and cheese-making in the area.

Almoharin has a 16th-century church, and a traditional plaza. The Roman bridge, just outside the village, is the oldest architectural remains in the area.
