Aglibôl var en mångud som dyrkades i det antika Syrien i staden Palmyra. Namnet Aglibôl betyder "Bels kalv", eller "herrens kalv". Aglibôl avbildas med en månhalo bakom hans huvud och ibland axlar. Ett annat av hans kännetecken är månskäran. Aglibôl kopplas med solguden i en berömd treenighet. Han associeras också med den syrianska versionen av Astarte "Venus" och med "Aftonstjärnan". Dyrkan av Aglibôl fortsatte in i hellenistiska tider och spred sig senare till Romarriket.
