Sweileh (Arabic: صويلح, romanized: Ṣuwayliḥ, alternatively spelled Suwaylih, Swaylih or Swaileh) is district number sixteen in Amman, Jordan out of twenty-seven.

Today, it is considered one of Amman's most populated districts since it has the University of Jordan and is a connection point to other cities such as Salt, Irbid and Jarash.

Sweileh was founded as an agricultural village called Ayn Suwaylih in 1906 by Circassian and Chechen settlers who were moved to the area by the Ottomans from other parts of the Empire.

[3] On 3 May 1907 the settlement was raided by 2,000 Adwan, Abbad, Balqawiya and Bani Hasan tribesmen and townspeople from Salt and Fuheis in response to an earlier quarrel in which a Bedouin herder was wounded attempting to graze livestock on wheat fields claimed by the Chechens.

[5] The Ottoman authorities arrested sixty people allegedly involved the raid, including several tribal chiefs, dismissed the governor of the Salt kaza (district), and opened a wide-scale reparations project to compensate the Chechens.
