Ugarit was an ancient coastal city in what is now northern Syria that was discovered in 1928 and found to contain thousands of cuneiform texts written in a previously unknown language called Ugaritic. The site's archaeological remains, particularly from the late Bronze Age, have provided invaluable insights into Bronze Age civilization in the eastern Mediterranean region.

Ougarit (ou Ugarit) est une ancienne cité du Proche-Orient, située dans l'actuelle Ras Shamra (initialement nommée Ras ech-Chamra, « cap du fenouil »), à onze kilomètres au nord de Lattaquié, en Syrie. Cette capitale de l'ancien royaume homonyme était au débouché d'une route qui joignait la mer Méditerranée au bassin mésopotamien, entre l'Empire hittite au nord et la sphère d'influence égyptienne au sud. Sans doute en activité dès 6000 AA et disparue vers 3200 AA, elle connait son apogée au tournant du IIe millénaire av. J.-C.
