Sharafiya (Assyrian Neo-Aramaic: ܫܲܪܦ̮ܝܼܵܐ, romanized: šarfīyā, Arabic: شرفية, romanized: šarafiyya, Kurdish: شەرەفیە, romanized: şerefye) is a village in the Nineveh Plains of northern Iraq, a sub-district of the Tel Kaif District situated 40 km northwest of the city of Mosul and is on the main road that connects Mosul to Alqosh, which it is only 5 kilometers south of.

Prior to its destruction by the Islamic State, it was home to about 400 families.
