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

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 (Italian: Draga Santa Elia) is now on the Italian side of the border. It belongs to the Koper Diocese.[3]
