The Conii were a pre-celtic tribe living in today's Algarve and South of Alentejo, regions of Southern Portugal. The main city of the country of the Conii was Conistorgis ( in Conii language it would mean "Royal City"), and it was destroyed by the Lusitanians, because the Conii had allied with the Romans during the Roman conquest of the Iberian Peninsula.

Some theories classify the Conii has of Celtic origin, while other classify them of Phoenician origin, some exotic theories classify them has one of the lost tribes of Abraham. The Conii were a historical people and, like the Lustianians, they possessed some form of writing that is still undecifred.
