Haliliye (Kurdish: Xelîlî)[2] is a municipality and district of Şanlıurfa Province, Turkey.[3] Its area is 1,924 km2,[4] and its population is 396,656 (2022).[1] The district Haliliye was created at the 2013 reorganisation from part of the former central district of Şanlıurfa Province, along with the new districts Eyyübiye and Karaköprü.[5][6] It covers the eastern part of the agglomeration of Şanlıurfa and the adjacent countryside. The name "Haliliye" refers to Halil İbrahim, the Muslim pronunciation of Abraham whose tomb is believed to be in Şanlıurfa. In the local elections of 31 March 2019, Mehmet Canpolat from the Justice and Development Party (AKP) was elected mayor.[7] As Kaymakam Serap Özmen Çetin was appointed.[8]

The village Dağeteği used to be called Garmuç.[9] It had 5,000 Armenian inhabitants before the Armenian genocide.[10][11]
