The Museiliha inscription is a first-century AD Roman boundary marker first documented by German classical scholar Theodor Mommsen in 1873. The inscriptions details a boundary set between the citizens of Caesarea ad Libanum (modern Arqa) and Gigarta (possibly present-day Gharzouz or Zgharta), hinting at a border dispute. The personal name of the involved procurator was deliberately erased. The boundary marker is now in the Louvre Museum collection. The inscription is named after its reported findspot, the medieval Mseilha Fort, located in Northern Lebanon.
