Cumières-le-Mort-Homme (French pronunciation: [kymjɛʁ lə mɔʁ ɔm]) is a ghost commune in the Meuse department in Grand Est in north-eastern France.
Since the end of the Battle of Verdun in 1916, it has been unoccupied (official population: 0), as have Bezonvaux, Beaumont-en-Verdunois, Haumont-près-Samogneux, Louvemont-Côte-du-Poivre, and Fleury-devant-Douaumont.
During World War I, the town was destroyed and the land made so uninhabitable that officials decided not to rebuild it. The site is maintained as a testimony to war and is officially designated a "village that died for France." It is managed by a municipal council of three members appointed by the prefect of the Meuse department.
