Al-Hadar is an Iraqi city located 80 km southwest of Mosul. It is believed that the city was founded at the beginning of the 2nd century BC. It currently serves as the administrative center of Al-Hadar District in Nineveh Governorate.
The ancient ruins of Hatra lie 2 km northwest of the modern settlement. The settlement's population and nearby villages greatly shrank by 2012 due to deforestation.
