Umm al Namil (Arabic: جزيرة ام النمل, lit. 'mother of ants') is an island belonging to Kuwait, located within Kuwait Bay, in Persian Gulf. The island is at shortest, 600 metres (2,000 feet) away from the Kuwaiti mainland.

The island is known to be the site of several archeological finds, mainly from the ancient Islamic era, Dilmun civilization, Hellenistic (including Seleucid), and the Bronze Age.[3][4][5]
