Vatili (; ) is a village in the Famagusta District of Cyprus, near Lysi. De facto, it is under the control of Northern Cyprus.

During the British era, in the middle 1940s, a significant livestock station was built in Vatili by the authorities. In 1973, Vatili had 3,161 inhabitants; of those, 72% were Greek Cypriots and 28% Turkish Cypriots. Fearing a retaliation by the Turks for the mistreatment of Turkish Cypriots by Greek Cypriots before 1974, the Greek Cypriots of Vatili fled to the south of the island during the Turkish invasion of Cyprus. Today, the village is also inhabited by displaced Turkish Cypriots from the south and Turkish settlers. , its population was 2,129.
