Eshtabraq () is a Syrian village in Jisr al-Shughur Nahiyah in Jisr al-Shughur District, Idlib. According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), it had a population of 1,187 in the 2004 census, the majority of whom are Alawites.
==History== On 25 April 2015, a massacre occurred in the village after the al-Qaeda-affiliated Jabhat al-Nusra and its Islamist allies in the "Army of Conquest" seized Jisr al-Shughour during their spring offensive that year. They attacked and captured the Alawite village of Eshtabraq and killed over 200 of its residents forcing the remainder to flee.
