Tel Keppe (also spelled Tel Keipeh ܬܠ ܟܦܐ in Syriac; TalKayf or Tel Kaif تل كيف in Arabic), one of the largest Assyrian (Chaldean-rite) towns in Iraq, is located in the Ninawa Governorate, less than 8 miles North East of Mosul (Nineveh) in northern Iraq.

Tel Keppe is now considered a suburb of Mosul. Currently only around 5,000 Chaldeans live in it, the majority of the inhabitants being Kurds and Arabs, while an estimated 100,000 Chaldeans who trace their origins to Tel Keppe now live in Baghdad-Iraq, San Diego, California, and Detroit, Michigan. In a publication written 1836 by Claudius James Rich, the town was described as being "wholly inhabited by Assyrians."

    التزوير الجديد للتاريخ هذه المنطقة آشورية ..وهذه كردية ...وهذه عربية ...وهذه ايزيدية والحقيقة أن الارض لله يورثها من يشاء أما الاشوريون فهم الان يقبعون تحت هذه الارض وسيقبع تحتها بقية الامم ولن يبقى الا الله
