Xlendi is an urban village located in the southwest of the island of Gozo, Malta. It is bordered by the villages of Munxar, Fontana, and Kerċem. The village is administered by the Munxar Local Council, but it has its coat of arms and motto.

==Etymology== The name Xlendi is of Byzantine origin. It is derived from a galley of that period, the Shilandi, which was wrecked along the coast near the mouth of the bay and rediscovered in the 1960s. The wreck has since become a popular diving site.
