The Yehimilk inscription is a Phoenician inscription (KAI 4 or TSSI III 6) published in 1930,[1][2] currently in the museum of Byblos Castle.

It was published in Maurice Dunand's Fouilles de Byblos (volume I, 1926–1932, numbers 1141, plate XXXI).

[3] It is dated to the 10th century BCE, and contains the earliest known Phoenician reference to Baalshamin.
