De Kaäba of Ka'aba (ook Ka'ba of Ka'bah, Arabisch الكعبة) is het centrale heiligdom van de islam en het staat in de Grote Moskee in het bedevaartsoord Mekka. Het staat ook wel bekend als Bayt Allah ("Huis van God"). Als onderdeel van de hadj, de bedevaart naar Mekka, lopen de bedevaartgangers (pelgrims) zeven keer rond de Kaäba. Ook bepaalt volgens de tweede soera van de Koran de Kaäba de islamitische gebedsrichting - een moslim bidt altijd in de richting van de Kaäba, dat is dus, als die niet in Mekka is, in de richting van Mekka.
