Debelt (Bulgarian: ��ебелт) is a village in Burgas Province in southeastern Bulgaria. It is located in the municipality of Sredets.

==History== Debelt is located near the ruins of the city of Develtos. During the Russo-Turkish War of 1828-1829, the region was occupied by Russia with the support of the Christian population. However, after the Treaty of Adrianople in 1829, the Christian population of Debelt abandoned the village and travelled with the Russian army as it withdrew from Ottoman territory. Most of the former inhabitants of Debelt settled in Bessarabia.
