The Yehimilk inscription is a Phoenician inscription (KAI 4 or TSSI III 6) published in 1930, currently in the museum of Byblos Castle.
It was published in Maurice Dunand's Fouilles de Byblos (volume I, 1926–1932, numbers 1141, plate XXXI).
It is dated to the 10th century BCE, and contains the earliest known Phoenician reference to Baalshamin. This name was originally a title of Baal Hadad, in the 2nd millennium BC, but it came to designate a distinct god circa 1000 BC.
