Phellus (Turkish: Phellos, Lycian: Wehnti; Ancient Greek: Φέλλος) is the site of an ancient Lycian city, situated in a mountainous area near Çukurbağ in Antalya Province, Turkey. The city was mentioned by the Greek geographer and philosopher Strabo in his Geographica. Antiphellus served as the city's port.

There was in the past some confusion amongst scholars about the exact location of Phellus. In 1840, using Greek inscriptions that were difficult to read, the English explorer and archaeologist Charles Fellows considered the city to be located near the village of Saaret.
