Monowi is an incorporated village in Boyd County, Nebraska, United States. It garnered national and international recognition after the 2010 United States census counted only one resident of the village, Elsie Eiler. Though the 2020 census listed Monowi's population as two,[1] this was confirmed to be an example of differential privacy in the census data; Eiler remains the town's sole resident.

According to tradition, the name Monowi means "flower" in an unidentified Native American language. Monowi was so named after the many wildflowers growing at the original site of the village.
