Hanin (Arabic: حانين) is a municipality in Lebanon located in the Bint Jbeil District.

[2] In 1875, Victor Guérin found the village to have 250 Metuali inhabitants.

[3] In 1881, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described it as: "A small village, built of stone; 100 Moslems; on end of rocky ridge, with vineyards and arable land; water from 'Ain Hanin in the valley below.

"[4] They further noted: "This is evidently an ancient site ; the rock to the south of the village is cut into cisterns ; tombs with side and end on kokim loculi; sarcophagi or tombs covered with flat lid on the surface; birkets for holding rainwater; olive-presses and wine-presses in considerable numbers, all cut in the rock.

A little down the hill on the south-east there are some sarcophagi cut out of the rock on pedestals ; steps lead up on the west side to one of them ; there are grooves for the lids to fit into, but these are in all cases wanting ; they had probably a ridge and knobs at the four corners, as frequently observed elsewhere.
