Al-Jaghboub (en arabe : الجغبوب, italien : Giarabub) est une localité libyenne située dans le désert Libyque oriental, en Cyrénaïque, à 290 km au sud de Tobrouk. Faisant partie administrativement du chabiyat d'Al Boutnan, elle est en fait plus proche de la ville égyptienne de Siwa que de n'importe quelle autre localité libyenne.
