Eli ( _he. עלי) is a large mixed communal Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Located north of Jerusalem and Ramallah, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Binyamin Regional Council. In 2007 it had a population of 2,600.

Eli was founded in 1984 as a municipal center for the Shilo area settlement bloc. In recent years the town has become a regular destination for French Jewish immigrants, and an ulpan has been established in nearby Ofra to aid their absorption. Eli is also home to the Bnei David pre-military Mechina academy. This yeshiva also offers post-army academic programs.

Eli is named after the biblical high-priest who served in the Tabernacle in nearby biblical Shiloh.
