Mari (Tell Hariri modern, bahasa Arab: تل حريري) merupakan sebuah kota Semit kuno yang terletak di Suriah modern. Sisa-sisa dari kota ini merupakan tel yang terletak 11 kilometer di barat laut Abu Kamal di tepi barat sungai Efrat, sekitar 120 kilometer tenggara Deir ez-Zor. Kota ini berkembang sebagai pusat perdagangan dan negara hegemonik pada sekitar tahun 2900 SM dan 1759 SM.[note 1] Sebagai kota yang dibangun dengan sengaja, keberadaan Mari terkait dengan posisinya di tengah rute perdagangan Efrat; posisi ini menjadikannya perantara antara Sumeria di selatan dan Levant di barat.
