Qaouzah (Arabic: القوزح) is a Lebanese village located in the Caza of Bint Jbeil in the Nabatiye Governorate in Lebanon.
Qaouzah occupies a hill with elevation ranging from 700 to 800 meters above sea level. The main agricultural products of Qaouzah are olive, carob and tobacco.
The people of Qaouzah are Lebanese and are almost exclusive Maronite Christians.
In 1881, the Palestine Exploration Fund's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described it: "A small village, containing about 100 Christians, with a small Christian chapel situated on a hill-top, with figs, olives, and arable land; a few cisterns for the water supply.”
In July 2006, Qaouzah, like other villages that string Lebanon's southern border, such as Ain Ebel, Debel, Rmaich, and Yaroun, was caught in the 2006 Lebanon War of Hezbollah and the Israeli army.
