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

It lies to the north of the city center.

It was founded by Chechen settlers in 1906 during Ottoman rule.

The town is known for having a good climate throughout the year, it is one of the few districts of Amman that sees snow during winter due to its high altitude.

The cultivation of olives and grapes, heavy industries, such as auto assembly, steel, and cement, make up the local economy.

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.
