Chouf (also spelled Shouf, Shuf or Chuf, in Arabic: جبل الشوف‎ Jabal ash-Shouf; French: La Montagne du Chouf) is a historic region of Lebanon, as well as an administrative district in the governorate (muhafazat) of Mount Lebanon.

Located south-east of Beirut, the region comprises a narrow coastal strip notable for the Christian town of Damour, and the valleys and mountains of the western slopes of Jabal Barouk, the name of the local Mount Lebanon massif, on which the largest forest of cedars of Lebanon is found.
