'Beaufort' (English translation of ' '; in Hebrew: If There's a Heaven) is the first novel by Israeli author and media professional Ron Leshem. The work was initially published in 2005 and in English translation under this title in 2007. The novel was the basis for the 2007 Academy Award-nominated film 'Beaufort'.

'Beaufort' is about an Israel Defense Forces unit stationed at the Beaufort Castle, Lebanon post in Southern Lebanon during the South Lebanon conflict. It takes the form of a narrative written by the unit's commander, Liraz Librati, who was the last commander of the Beaufort castle before the Israeli withdrawal in 2000.

The Hebrew original of 'Beaufort' won Israel's 2006 Sapir Prize for Literature and the Yitzhak Sadeh Prize for Military Literature.
