Karli-Eli (Turkish: Karlıeli, Greek: Κάρλελι, romanized: Karleli), also Karli-Ili or Karlo-Ili, was an Ottoman province (sanjak) in the region of Aetolia-Acarnania in Western Greece from the late 15th century until the Greek War of Independence.
The name, meaning "Land of Charles" in Turkish, derived from the region's last important Christian rulers, Carlo I Tocco (r. 1386–1430), or his nephew and successor, Carlo II Tocco (r. 1430–1448).
