Belet Nagar was the tutelary goddess of the ancient Syrian city Nagar. She was also worshiped by the Hurrians and in Mesopotamia. She was connected with kingship, but much about her role in the religions of the ancient Near East remains uncertain.

The city's original name is unknown. During the second half of the third millennium BC, the city was known as Nagar and later on, Nawar.
