Ixil is the name of a Mayan people in Guatemala. The Ixil live in three municipalities in the Cuchumatanes mountains in the northern part of the department El Quiché. These municipalities -also known as the Ixil Triangle- are Santa Maria Nebaj, San Gaspar Chajul, and San Juan Cotzal.

In the early eighties the Ixil Triangle was one of the principal stages for insurgent and counter-insurgent operations in the Guatemalan civil war. As a consequence the Ixil people suffered the brunt of the conflict, particularly after the military adopted an indiscriminate scorched-earth strategy.
