Bnashii (also Bnashaai, Bneshaai, Bnechaai, Bnash'i, Arabic: بنشعي) is a village located in the Zgharta District in the North Governorate of Lebanon.[1]

The altitude of the village is 450 meters above sea level. It has a leisure base around its artificial lake.[2]

In 1866, the village was the witness of an important battle between 800 lebanese nationalists led by Youssef Bey Karam and a numerically superior ottoman contingent led by Daoud Pasha.
