Dahr-al-Ain (Arabic: ضهر العين) is a village in the Koura District of Lebanon, with a Maronite and Greek Orthodox population.

It attracted media attention in May 2010 when two brothers, Tony and Nayef Saleh, were shot by Hanna al-Bersawi on May 28, apparently for political reasons only days before the municipal polls.
