Tell el-Qudeirat is an archaeological site in the Sinai, about 5 mi (8.0 km) east of the Egyptian village of Quseima. It is widely considered to be the location of the biblical Kadesh Barnea. Recently, some authors have referred to it as Tel Kadesh-barnea. Moshe Dothan (1965) referred to it as Tel 'Ein el Qudeirat, while in the early twentieth century Woolley and Lawrence used the spelling Tell Ain el Guderat.
