Naples is a small unincorporated community in Boundary County, in the far north of Idaho, United States.[1] It lies 11 miles (18 kilometers) south of the city of Bonners Ferry and 23 mi (37 km) north of Sandpoint, on U.S. Routes 2/95 in the Rocky Mountains.

Naples is near the land features of Caribou Ridge and Ruby Creek.

It resulted in the deaths of three people, including a deputy US marshal and two of the Weaver family.[3]

It was named after the Italian city, from which many immigrant laborers had come who worked on building the first rail line through the region around 1890.[4]
