Phaitol is a village in the Tamenglong district of Manipur, India, near its border with the Jiribam district. It is at the foothills of the Vangaitang range, close to the National Highway 37. Though the village is part of Tamenglong district, Tousem Subdivision, it is geographically located within the precincts of Jiribam district due to geographical anomalies in the district delineation.
During the 2023–2024 Manipur violence, Phaitol was the site of much violent activity, population displacement and trauma.
