Atil (also Átil) is a small town in Atil Municipality in the northwest of the Mexican state of Sonora.

It was founded in 1751 by the Jesuit missionary Jacobo Sedelmayer as a mission with the name of Atil. The first inhabitants were Pima Alto or Nebome Indians, who before conversion had led a nomadic or semi-nomadic life. Atil is one of the smallest municipalities in the state. It is said that its name means "Arrow Point", in the Pima language.
