'''Gorni Lom''' ({{langx|bg|Горни Лом}}) is a village in north-western Bulgaria, Vidin Province. The population of Gorni Lom is 784.

The village is situated in a mountainous region, on the upper stream of the Lom River. It is located in the foot of Midzhur, the highest peak in western Stara Planina. Gorni Lom is a starting point for the tourists who climb Midzhur. Most of the village inhabitants work in a factory producing explosives or in the five small hydropower plants on the river.

== Economy == A significant part of the population is employed at the nearby Videx Ammo Plant (Former Midzhur Ammo Plant).<ref>[http://www.novinite.com/articles/163768/Fifteen+Dead+After+Bulgarian+Ammo+Plant+Explosion+-+Officials/ “Fifteen Dead After Bulgarian Ammo Plant Explosion"]</ref>
