İmamlı was a village in the district of Silifke of the Turkish province of Mersin .

İmamlı is located in the center of the district, about 12 kilometers north of Silifke and 65 kilometers southwest of the provincial capital Mersin . The distance to the Mediterranean Sea is about 12 kilometers. Since a regional reform in 2014, the place is no longer a village, but a district of the district town of Silifke. The Yenibahçe Deresi valley runs east of the village and stretches far from the coastal town of Atakent into the mountainous hinterland.

At İmamlı there is a rock relief of Iupiter Dolichenus with his usual representation standing on a bull. It originated in the 2nd or 3rd century AD. About two kilometers to the northwest is the Roman - Early Byzantine villa rustica Gökkale , just as far to the east is the Barakçıkale ruin complex from the Hellenistic period on a rock spur above the Yenibahçe valley.
