In the world of author J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, Edoras is the capital city of Rohan. It is home to the Golden Hall of the King, called Meduseld. The city of Edoras was built on a hill in a valley of the White Mountains by Rohan's second King, Brego son of Eorl the Young. Before Edoras was completed, Rohan's capital was at Aldburg in the Folde. The Golden Hall was described as having a golden thatch, and the stables were constructed at the top of the hill by Meduseld itself.

Edoras is Rohan's only real city, and holds the Golden Hall of Meduseld. It is here that Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, and Gandalf meet with King Théoden in the account of the early stages of the War of the Ring.

Edoras and the rest of the Rohirrim were often called to war, to defend both Gondor and Rohan. They had green capes draped over them and carried green banners adorned with a white horse. They carried green shields emblazoned with a golden sun and were armed with spears and long swords that were set with green Gems.

Edoras is built at the end of the valley of Harrowdale, which lies under the great mountain Starkhorn. The river Snowbourn flows past the city on its way west towards the Entwash. The city was protected only by a high wall of timber, and a one-way road allowed access to the city. Just before the gates, two sets of mounds lined the road, which were the graves of the former Kings of Rohan.

"Edoras" is an Old English translation of the Rohirric word for "the Courts". It is believed that Tolkien based the settlement on the town of Warwick in the UK where he got married.

Edoras as it is depicted in Peter Jackson's film version of The Lord Of The Rings.

In Peter Jackson's film version, a fully realized set for Edoras was built on Mount Sunday in the upper reaches of the Rangitata Valley, near Erewhon. None of the set was built digitally, but on location: for example the mountain ranges in the backround are not added in with CGI, but part of the actual location shot.
