Mechili (Arabic: المخيلي) is a small village in Cyrenaica, Libya and the site of a former Turkish fort.

[1] It is nearly 274 km (170 mi) east of Benghazi and 80 km (50 mi) west of Timimi.

Because of its location in the desert, Mechili suffered in the past from isolation.

However, its isolation ended after the paving of the Charruba–Timimi desert road between the years 1975–1985, and this road became the preferred route for travel between Tobruk and Benghazi.

The village sits at an elevation of 196 meters (643 feet).
