Nofaliya or Nawfaliya (Arabic: النوفلية Nawfalīyah) is a town in the desert in the Sirte District of Libya.

During World War II Nofaliya was the site of a brief skirmish in late 1942 when some of Erwin Rommel's retreating forces ran out of fuel.

[1] At the time it was home to a small fort with a few Italian buildings in addition to a mosque, some shops and a school.

A convoy of forty heavily armed vehicles arrived from Sirte and ordered Nofaliya's residents to "repent" and pledge allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

[2] Nofaliya was briefly retaken by New General National Congress forces on 19 March 2015,[3] but they withdrew the next day.
