Babylon was an ancient city in southern Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq) that served as the cultural and political center of the Akkadian-speaking region and was home to two major empires—the Old Babylonian Empire (19th–16th century BC) and the Neo-Babylonian Empire (7th–6th century BC). It was one of the most important urban centers of the ancient Near East and also functioned as a regional capital for other empires, including the Achaemenid Empire.

巴比伦(阿拉伯语:بابل Bābil;阿卡德語:Bābili(m);苏美尔语:KÁ.DINGIR.RAKI;希伯來語:בָּבֶל Bāḇel;古希臘語:Βαβυλών Babylṓn)原本是一个闪语族阿卡德人的城市。它的历史可以追溯到公元前2334年的阿卡德帝国。2019年獲列入世界文化遺產。 它起初是一个低级行政中心。公元前1894年在由移民者建立的阿摩利人王朝的手里巴比伦才成为一个独立的城邦。巴比伦人在他们的历史上相对更多地被其它移民王朝统治,例如加喜特人、阿拉米人、埃兰人与迦勒底人。两河流域的同胞亚述人也统治过巴比伦。 巴比伦城市遗址在今天伊拉克巴比伦省的希拉被发现,位于巴格达以南约八十五公里处。这个举世闻名城市的遗址地处底格里斯河和幼发拉底河之间肥沃的美索不达米亚平原上,现在仅留存着由破损的土砖建筑物构成的大型土墩和碎片。城市沿着幼发拉底河建造,被左、右河岸平分成两部分,配有陡峭的河堤来抵御季节性的洪水。 现存的历史资料显示,巴比伦最初是一个小城镇,在公元前二千年初变得兴盛。在阿摩利人巴比伦第一王朝于公元前1894年兴起时它作为一个小城邦获得独立。巴比伦宣称自己是苏美尔-阿卡德城邦——埃利都的继承者。尽管在那时候它还是一个小城市,但是它让美索不达米亚平原上的“圣城”尼普尔黯然失色。大约也是这个时候,也就是公元前十八世纪左右,一个名叫汉谟拉比的亚摩利人国王第一次建立巴比伦帝国。从这时候开始美索不达米亚平原的南部被人称作巴比倫尼亞,巴比伦的规模至此開始快速發展,日益膨胀。 巴比伦帝国随着灭亡而快速瓦解。之后,巴比伦在亚述人、加喜特人和埃兰人的统治下度过漫长的岁月。在被亚述人毁灭并重建后,巴比伦于公元前608年到公元前539年之间成为新巴比伦王国的所在地。这个帝国由来自美索不达米亚平原东南角的迦勒底人建立。新巴比伦帝国最后一个国王是一个来自美索不达米亚平原北部的亚述人。巴比伦的空中花园是古代世界七大奇迹之一。巴比伦在衰落后又被阿契美尼德帝国、塞琉古王朝、帕提亚帝国、罗马帝国和萨珊王朝统治。
