{{Coord|25|8|52|N|51|36|52|E|region:QA_type:landmark|display=title}}Jebel Al Wakrah ({{lang-ar|جبل الوكرة}}) is a hill and local landmark of the city of Al Wakrah on the eastern coast of Qatar. Located just off the shoreline, Jebel Al Wakrah is a level-topped rocky hill of brown color standing from {{convert|85|feet}} to {{convert|104|feet}} in height,^[1] and is visible from approximately 12 miles.^[1] It was formed almost entirely from wind-blown deposits.^[2]

According to the Ministry of Municipality and Environment, the city of Al Wakrah derived its name from a hill that was a popular nesting spot for birds (bird's nest transliterates to "wakar" in Arabic), most likely referring to Jebel Al Wakrah.^[3]

Archaeological artifacts were uncovered at the jebel by the Danish archaeological expedition during the 1950s and 1960s and by the British Mission led by Beatrice de Cardi in 1973.^[2]
