Hamam al-Alil (also: Hammam al-Alil; Arabic: حمام العليل "fresh bath") is a spa town about 27 km south of Mosul in the Nineveh Governorate in Iraq, on the western bank of the Tigris River. It is well known for its mineral water springs and receives visitors from all over Iraq seeking treatment due to the various purported medical benefits of the sulfur-rich geothermal waters.

In 2019, the authorities undertook renovation works to the Hamam al-Alil baths costing $500,000 that were completed in June 2022.
