Mihele (pronounced [miˈxeːlɛ]; in older sources Miheli,[2] Italian: Micheli[3]) is a small settlement in the Municipality of Hrpelje-Kozina in the Littoral region of Slovenia on the border with Italy.[4]

The parish church just outside the settlement is dedicated to the Prophet Elijah. The parish is known as the Draga Parish, although the actual village of Draga (obsolete Italian: Draga Santa Elia[3] or Draga Sant'Elia[5]) is now on the Italian side of the border. It belongs to the Koper Diocese.[6]
