Levant, Küçük Asya ve Fenike topraklarının (günümüz Türkiye, Suriye ve Lübnan'ı) Akdeniz'in doğu kıyılarındaki kara parçalarına verilen isimdir. Daha geniş anlamda ise Yunanistan'dan Mısır'a kadar olan tüm kıyı şeridini tanımlamak için kullanılır. Levant, Verimli Hilal'ın bir parçasıdır ve [Ugarit](https://www.worldhistory.org/trans/tr/1-361/ugarit/), Tyre ve Sidon gibi bazı Antik Akdeniz ticaret merkezlerine ev sahipliği yapmıştır. Ayrıca, Fenike uygarlığının ana yurdudur.
