The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR, Arabic: الشبكة السورية لحقوق الإنسان) is a UK-based human rights NGO, which monitors casualties and has briefed various United Nations agencies. It monitors Syrian casualties of all the parties in the Syrian civil war. The SNHR was founded in June 2011 by Fadel Abdul Ghany, who is the chairman of the board of directors. Members have been detained, and many now live outside Syria.

Its reports have been cited by various news media, non-governmental organizations, such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, as well as by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.
