Għajnsielem is a village on Gozo Island, Malta, with a population of 2,580 people (Nov 2005).
In this village one finds the major harbour of Gozo, Mġarr Harbour, the lifeline of the island. The island of Comino, which lies in the channel between the Islands of Malta and Gozo, is also part of the locality of Għajnsielem. The Parish Church of Ghajnsielem is a formidable structure visible from the island of Malta, built in Neo-Gothic style in the twentieth century, since the earlier parish church became too small for the growing population of the village.
