Tawani or at-Tuwani () is a Palestinian village in the south Hebron Hills of the Hebron Governorate. Many of the village's residents formerly lived in dwelling caves. The village is located south-east of the village of Yatta. Approximately away lies Tel Tuwani, near the Israeli settlement of Ma’on. Frequent conflicts occur between at-Tawani's residents and settlers over Israeli encroachment on its land, roads and water resources. The village had a population of 194 residents in 2017.
==History== The village of Tawani is built on the ruins of Khirbet at-Tuwani. In an archeological survey conducted in 1968 several edifices, fences and pottery dated to the Byzantine era and Middle Ages. Most of the archeological findings were since removed. Today the village mainly consists of ancient houses from the Ottoman time, often build over the more ancient caves.
