Harmil is an uninhabited island in Eritrea that forms part of the Dahlak Archipelago. The inhabitants are serving members of the Eritrean Navy who have a small outpost on the island. The outpost consists of a small pier in the southwest bay and a camp about 1 km north-northwest from the pier that may be unoccupied.
The island is not high, standing less than 3 meters above the sea level (the nearby islet Sail Harmil to south-southeast is 14 m high) and therefore offers limited protection from the wind. There are three possible anchorages to be used depending on the direction of the wind. The southwest corner of the northeast bay contains an entrance into a sheltered lagoon fully protected by mangroves and accessible by dinghy.
