Ebla (em sumério: 𒇯𒁺; em árabe: عبيل، إيبلا) foi uma antiga cidade localizada no norte da Síria, a cerca de 55 km, a sudoeste de Alepo. Foi uma importante cidade-estado em dois períodos: em inícios do 3º milênio a.C., e novamente entre 1 800 a.C. e 1 650 a.C.. O lugar é atualmente conhecido como Tell Mardikh, e é famoso principalmente pelas aproximadamente 20 000 tábuas cuneiformes ali encontradas, datadas por volta de , em escrita suméria e representando a língua eblaíta, uma língua até então desconhecida que hoje é conhecida como a mais antiga língua semítica, com exceção da língua acádia.
