Bebelplatz, formerly known as Opernplatz between 1741 and 1743, is a public square located in Berlin, the capital of Germany, named after August Bebel, a prominent leader of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) in the 19th century.

The Bebelplatz is infamous for being the site of the infamous book burning on May 10, 1933, carried out by members of the Brown Shirts and Hitler Youth at the instigation of propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels. It is estimated that around 20,000 books were burned, including works by Karl Marx and other authors.

On September 9, 2006, the "Round Table of Free Voices" was established on this square, an innovative project that brought together thinkers from around the world to address major social issues.

The square is located south of Unter den Linden, a major boulevard that runs through the city center from east to west. It is bordered on the east by the Staatsoper Unter den Linden building, on the west by the Humboldt University buildings and on the south by St. Hedwig's Cathedral, the oldest Catholic church in Berlin.

A memorial to the burning of books adorns the square, consisting of a piece of glass above the ground, through which empty bookshelves can be seen in the subsoil. Next to it, a plaque bears a quote by author Heinrich Heine that reads: "Das war ein Vorspiel nur, dort wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man am Ende auch Menschen" (This was only a prelude, where books are burned, in the end also people are burned). Every year, on the anniversary of the burning, the students of the Humboldt University organize a book market in memory of what happened on the square.
