Nili (Hebrew: נִילִ"י) is an Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Located 3.8 kilometres east of the Green line and a few hundred metres from the Palestinian village of Deir Qaddis,[2] it is organised as a community settlement and falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Binyamin Regional Council.[3] In 2022 it had a population of 2,059.

The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[4]
