Colneis[pronunciation?] is a hundred of Suffolk, covering 16,712 acres (67.63 km2).

It lies within the Colneis Deanery, in the Archdeaconry of Suffolk. It was one of seven Saxon hundreds grouped together as the Wicklaw Hundreds.
Spelled Colenesse in Domesday Book, the origin of the name is not known for sure, though the suffix -ness means "headland", and t Col may represent the Old Danish personal name Koli
The name survives as that of a Junior School in Felixstowe.
