The Phoenician sanctuary of Kharayeb () is a historic temple in the hinterland of Tyre in Southern Lebanon. It was excavated in three stages. In 1946, Maurice Chehab, then head of Lebanon's Directorate General of Antiquities, led the first mission that revealed a Hellenistic period temple and thousands of clay figurines dating from the sixth to the first century BC. Subsequent excavations in 1969, by Lebanese archaeologist Brahim Kaoukabani, and in 2009, by the Italian government, yielded evidence of cultic practices and produced a detailed reconstruction of the sanctuary's architecture.
