The Lordship of Gibelletto (also known as Gibello, Gibelet, or Jebail) was a Genoese fief within the County of Tripoli, one of the Crusader states in the Holy Land. Its territory was coastal, in the southern part of the County of Tripoli, bordering to the south the Lordship of Beirut in the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
Throughout its history it was under the rule of the Genoese Embriaco family, first as administrators of the city in the name of the Republic of Genoa, and then as a hereditary fief, undertaking to pay an annual fee to Genoa and the church of San Lorenzo (Genoa's Cathedral).
