Ayn Issa (Arabic: ناحية عين عيسى, Kurdish: Bozanê) is a town and nahiyah within the Tell Abyad District of Raqqa Governorate in Syria. It is located halfway between the border town Tell Abyad and the regional capital Raqqa.
In June 2015, Ayn Issa was taken over by the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) in the course of their Tell Abyad offensive. While it was shortly recaptured by Islamic State militants, it was reclaimed by the YPG in early July.
