Nili (Hebrew: נילי) is an Israeli settlement located east of Modi'in. The village, established in 1981, receives its municipal services from the Matte Binyamin Regional Council.
Nili, an acronym of a phrase נצח ישראל לא ישקר (I Samuel 15:29; transliteration: Netzakh Yisrael Lo Yishaker, literal translation: "The Eternal One of Israel does not lie"), was a Jewish espionage network which assisted the United Kingdom in its fight against the Ottoman Empire in the Land of Israel during World War I.
