Muhajbib (Arabic: محيبيب), also spelled Mhaibib, is a small village in the Marjeyoun District in southern Lebanon.

Muhajbib holds a shrine to Benjamin, who Islam considers a prophet, which attracts pilgrims and visitors. As of October 2024, it is unclear whether the shrine remains intact following Israel's demolition of the village.[1][2]
