Nymlal (also spelled Nyamlell) is a populated place in the Northern Bahr el Ghazal state in South Sudan, north-west of the town of Aweil on the banks of the Lol River.

Nymlal, situated in Aweil West County, has a marketplace. Most of the people in and around Nymlal are Dinka. The name Nymlal has the meaning of "the place where stones are eaten".[citation needed]

According to Francis Bok and human rights organizations, Nymlal was raided several times by an "Arab militia" from northern Sudan during the Second Sudanese Civil War.[1]
