Imi (also transliterated as Imay and Hinna, Arabic: إيماني) is a town in the Somali Region of Ethiopia.

Probably the earliest European explorer to visit Imi was Arthur Rimbaud, who was working at the time as a commercial agent in Harar for the firm of Mazeran, Vinnay and Barday.

A British hunter Colonel Swayne, who visited Imi in February 1893, was shown "the remains of the bivouac of an enormous Abyssinian army which had been defeated some two or three years before.

"[2] Italian explorers who visited Imi early in 1891 found the once prosperous village "squalid" and miserable because of raids from Harar.

[3] In 1964 the Bale rebels attacked larger settlements, such as Kere and Imi and, while they failed to capture them, they succeeded in gaining control of the rest of the district as smaller posts were abandoned by government forces.
