'''Wavel''' ({{lang-ar|وافل}}) is a [[Palestinian]] [[refugee camp]] near the city of [[Baalbeck]] in [[Lebanon]]. It was originally [[France|French]] army barracks, but in 1948 refugees from the [[1948 Arab-Israeli war|Palestine war]] found shelter there. In 1952, [[UNRWA]] took over responsibility for providing services in the camp.
As of 2003, there are 7,553 registered refugees in the camp.
