Atheel al-Nujaifi (Arabic: أثيل النجيفي; Turkish: Esil Nuceyfi; born 1958) is an Iraqi politician. He served as the Governor of Nineveh Governorate from April 2009 until May 2015.
Nujaifi was born into a Mawsili family in 1958. He is a brother of the Vice-President of Iraq, Osama al-Nujaifi. His ancestors were closely aligned with the Ottoman rulers of Mosul, resulting in them receiving huge grants of land in the al-Hamdaniya district. Nujaifi has degrees in engineering and law from the University of Mosul.
