Ba'al (Hebrew בעל, Ba'l, "lord"; Greek Βήλος): title of several Canaanite deities. The word "Ba'al" can be translated as "lord", "owner", "master", or "husband", and referred to a group of deities venerated in the Levant.

The oldest references to him are personal names from the third millennium BCE.
