Qaminis or Ghemines (Arabic: قمينس) is a small town adjacent to the Gulf of Sidra in the Cyrenaica region of northwestern Libya. It is located about 50 km (31 mi) to the south of Benghazi, and 23 km (14 mi) west of Suluq.

Qaminis was known Chaminos, before being conquered by Muslim forces in 642 CE.^[2]

Qaminis is slowly growing as new houses are being built, mostly by new citizens moving to the town. The former Libyan government did not have a large impact upon the town.
