Romsås is neighborhood in the city of Oslo, Norway. Romsås was an independent borough until January 1, 2004, when was merged into the larger borough of Grorud. Romsås is located northeast of Groruddalen with Lillomarka to the north. The name Romsås originated with the Romsås farm which by 1850 was one of the biggest farms in Østre Aker.
