Adi (Hebrew: עדי, lit. 'Ornament') is a community settlement in northern Israel. Located near Shefa-'Amr, it falls under the jurisdiction of Jezreel Valley Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 1,892.[1]

Adi is named after the archaeological site Tel Hali (Tel 'Alil) located at the Arab village of Ras Ali, 2 km to the southwest.[2][3] "Adi" and "hali" both mean "adornment".[2] Tel Hali may be the site of biblical Hali mentioned in Joshua 19:25.[3]

The village was established in 1980 by native born Israelis and immigrants from the Soviet Union as part of the "Lookouts in the Galilee" plan.
