Tervel (Bulgarian: Тервел, pronounced [ˈtɛrvɛɫ]) is a town in northeastern Bulgaria, part of Dobrich Province.

It is the administrative centre of Tervel Municipality, which lies in the westernmost part of the province.

[1] The old Ottoman Turkish name of the town was Kurtbunar ("well of the wolves"): the village was first mentioned in Ottoman tax registers of 1673, although the area has been inhabited continuously since antiquity by the Getae tribe of Thracians, then the Slavs and the Bulgars, and constituted a part of the Bulgarian Empire during most of the Middle Ages.

In 1878, Kurtbunar became part of the newly liberated Principality of Bulgaria and it was promoted to a district centre of Silistra County on 26 July 1882.

It features an ethnographic collection, an art gallery and an archaeological exposition, including a 3,500-year-old human skeleton.
