Xelha (Spanish pronunciation: [ʃelˈxa], Spanish: Xelhá; Yucatec Maya: Xel-Há) is an archaeological site of the Maya civilization from pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, located on the eastern coastline of the Yucatán Peninsula, in the present-day state of Quintana Roo, Mexico. The etymology of the site's name comes from Yukatek Maya, combining the roots xel ("spring") and ha' ("water").
The lagoon and inlet at Xelha has been turned into a commercial water theme park known as Xel-Ha Park.
