Chebaa (Arabic: شبعا‎‎; also transliterated Shebaa) is a town on the south-eastern tip of Lebanon. It has a largely Sunni Muslim population of 25,000 people. It is situated at an altitude of approximately 1,500 metres (4,900 ft) above sea level; spread across two steep rocky mountainsides. It lies adjacent to the contested Shebaa farms—which sit between the town and the Golan Heights. Before 1967, residents of Shebaa farmed in the disputed Shebaa farms territory.

The town houses several thousand Syrian refugees.
