奎略（Cuello）是一个位于北伯利兹的玛雅遗址。该遗址是一个农庄，定居历史相当长，可以追溯到大约公元前1200年的前古典时期中段。遗址中有若干组房屋，每一组的住户们围绕在组中的空地四周建房。当时的房屋是由柱子支撑的茅草屋（pole-and-thatch houses），建在表面涂有石灰的低台之上。遗址中还包括一个建于公元前约900年的蒸汽浴室，这也是在发现的最早的蒸汽浴室。遗址中墓葬也有发现，尽管最早的墓葬已无随葬品存留，但是在公元前900年之后的墓中有瓷器随葬。 据考证，在奎略发现的最早的瓷器风格样式属于一种比较成熟的玛雅低地瓷器传统。这表明奎略最早的定居者很可能就是玛雅人。虽然现在看来奎略同前古典时期的其他农庄遗址相比并无特别之处，但研究表明它在公元前800年之后可能是该地区黑曜石贸易的一环。当时位于今天危地马拉境内的部落出产黑曜石，低地部落需要通过贸易获得这种在器具制造和宗教仪式中都十分重要的矿物。在那之后几百年，一小部分玉石也曾流入奎略。
