Sharanish (Kurdish: شرانش, romanized: Şêraniş,[2][3] Hebrew: שראנש,[4] Syriac: ܫܪܢܘܫ)[5][nb 1] is an Assyrian village in Dohuk Governorate in Kurdistan Region, Iraq.

[13] To escape the Assyrian genocide, during the First World War, the population of Sharanish fled with Agha Petros, and eventually returned after seven years.

[5] In the 1920s, the village was controlled by the Sindi tribe, and its agha (chief) Jamil resented British rule, and thus he ambushed and killed six policemen, likely former or active Assyrian levies, near Sharanish in April 1925.

[16] The village was largely destroyed by the Iraqi army in 1987 during the Al-Anfal campaign, and 80 families were displaced, and most fled to urban centres, such as Baghdad and Mosul.

[19][20] Sharanish was bombed by the Turkish Air Force on 17 January 2016 on the pretext of combatting the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), and the village's population found temporary refuge in Zakho.
