Jibchit (; also Romanized Jibshit, Jibsheet, etc.) is a municipality in the Nabatieh Governorate region of southern Lebanon located north of the Litani River.

==History== In 1596, named Jibsid, it was a village in the Ottoman nahiya (subdistrict) of Sagif under the liwa' (district) of Safad, with a population of 39 households and 10 bachelors, all Muslim. The villagers paid a fixed tax-rate of 25% on agricultural products, such as wheat, barley, olive trees, fruit trees, goats, beehives and "occasional revenues"; a total of 5,040 akçe.
