Samaheej ( Samāhīj, Mashmahig, Persian: سه ماهی Se Mahi) is a village in Bahrain on the northern coast of Muharraq Island. Al Dair village lies to its northwest, while Galali lies to its southeast. It is north of Bahrain International Airport.

Samaheej was home to a historical Christian community, the remains of which have been uncovered through archaeological excavations at the site. Before the discovery of oil in Bahrain, most of the inhabitants were involved in farming, especially date palms, and fishing.
