country bumpkin
Unsophisticated rural person
A country bumpkin is a person from a rural area perceived as unsophisticated, naive, or out of place in urban settings.
The term is mildly derogatory, suggesting someone lacks worldly experience or social polish: He felt like a country bumpkin at the fancy restaurant.
Bumpkin alone carries the same meaning, with country emphasizing rural origins.
