Kabile (Bulgarian: Кабиле) or Cabyle is a village in southeastern Bulgaria, part of the Tundzha municipality, Yambol Province.

The ancient Thracian city of Kabile was one of the most important and largest towns in Thrace and its architectural remains are impressive, many of them preserved and restored.[1][2][3]

The territory of the ancient city and the surrounding area was proclaimed a territory of national importance and an archaeological reserve in 1965.

Many of the finds are housed in the on-site museum.
