Hawar Kilis (Arabic: حوار كلس|Ḥiwār Kalas, Turkish: Havar Kilis or Turkish: Havar), alternatively spelled Hiwar Kalas, is a village in northern Aleppo Governorate, northwestern Syria. It is located between Azaz and Al-Rai, on the Queiq Plain, some 45km (28miles) north of the city of Aleppo, and just south of the border with the Turkish province of Kilis.
The village administratively belongs to Nahiya Sawran in Azaz District. Nearby localities include Zayzafun to the west and Baraghida to the south.
In the 2004 census, Hawar Kilis had a population of 438. The village is inhabited by Turkmen.[2] In late 19th century, traveler Martin Hartmann noted Hawar as a Turkish village of 10 houses, then located in the Ottoman nahiyah of Azaz-i Turkman.[3]
