Mar Elias (Arabic: مار الياس‎‎) was a Palestinian refugee camp in the southwestern part of Beirut, Lebanon. The camp was founded in 1952 by the Mar Elias (Prophet Elijah) Greek Orthodox convent[1] and is composed mainly of Christian Palestinians (almost all the rest of the refugee camps house Muslim Palestinians).

In 2002 there were 1,406 registered refugees in the camp.
