'''Sharanish''' ({{lang-syr|ܫܪܢܘܫ}}), is an [[Assyrian people|Assyrian]] village located in the [[Dohuk Governorate]] close to the borders with [[Turkey]].
The village is inhabited by [[Assyrians]] who belong to the [[Chaldean Church]] and the [[Assyrian Church of the East]]. The region is known for its cool weather during the summer, making it one of the most important tourist destinations in Iraq.

==History==
The village has two churches, one of which was originally a [[synagogue]] before the advent of Christianity in the fourth century.
Most of its population escaped the [[Assyrian Genocide]] by marching with [[Agha Petros]] to [[Urmia]] during the [[First World War]]. The continuous Kurdish revolts during the 20th century forced most of its inhabitants to flee to [[Baghdad]], and by the 1980s, the village was completely destroyed by the Iraqi Army.

After the [[Iraq War]], many of its inhabitants returned from [[Baghdad]] and [[Mosul]] due to a waves of violence against Assyrians.
