Belzebuli (kwa Kiingereza: Beelzebub au Beelzebul, kutoka Kiebrania בַּעַל זְבוּב, Baʿal Zəvûv) ni jina lililotokana na lile la mungu mmojawapo wa Wafilisti wa Ekron, ambalo tena linahusiana na Baal, mungu mkuu wa Kanaani.

"Beelzebub na walio wake", mchoro katika kitabu cha John Bunyan The Pilgrim's Progress (1678)

Baadaye lilitumiwa na Wayahudi, Wakristo na Waislamu kama jina la mmojawapo kati ya pepo wakuu zaidi, ila badala ya kumuita Beel Zebul, yaani Baal Mfalme, walitamka Baal Zebub, yaani mungu wa nzi[1][2][3][4][5][6][7].

Kwa Kiarabu jina limekuwa Baʿlzabūl (بعلزبول).[8][9]

  3. "The etymology of Beelzebul has proceeded in several directions.

Baalzebub (Heb ba˓al zĕbûb) seems to mean "lord of flies" (HALAT, 250, but cf.
