The Beddawi refugee camp is a refugee camp in north Lebanon. Established in 1955, it is located near Beddawi in the high region which is in front of Tripoli city.

The camp was damaged during the Lebanese civil war. A number of refugees came to the Beddawi camp after Israel destroyed the Nabatieh refugee camp in 1974 and the Tel al-Zaatar refugee camp in 1976.
