[1]Inuvil is a town in the Northern Province of Sri Lanka, about 5 miles north of the city of Jaffna. It is located on the Jaffna-Kangesanthurai road. This road divides the town into two parts East Inuvil and West Inuvil. Inuvil is bordered by Uduvil to the north, Urumbarai to the east, Kondavil to the south, and Sudumala to the west. The town is known for its tobacco production, full of small plantations for agriculture.

McLeod Hospital, a maternity hospital established by the American Mission, is the most famous. Until a few decades ago, people from many parts of the peninsula flocked to this clinic.
