Xlendi is a village in Malta situated in the south west of the island of Gozo. The name is probably derived from the word "xelandion", a type of Byzantine vessel which may have anchored in the port. The church here is dedicated to the Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel. The front section of the building dates back to 1868; in 1969 it was enlarged at the rear. The church was dedicated in 1974.

Xlendi falls under Munxar for administrative purposes, though it does have its own motto.A white statue of the apostle Saint Andrew, patron saint of fishermen, stands looking out over the port. You will find here the Xlendi Tower, built in 1650 and perched on the promontory.
