The Ibelin coat of arms.

Guy of Ibelin (French: Guy d'Ibelin) (1276-1304), of the Ibelin familly, was Count of Jaffa and Ascalon. As Jaffa was captured by Baibars in 1268, Guy of Ibelin only had this title, but not the land corresponding to it. He was the son of John of Ibelin, Lord of Beyrouth, and Maria of Armenia.

Guy is mentioned in the 13th century account by "Le Templier de Tyr", as entering into contact with the Mongols in order to re-conquer the Holy Land. Ghazan sent an envoy to inform that he would join the Franks during the winter, but adversed conditions stopped him from coming:

"That year , a message came to Cyprus from Ghazan, king of the Tatars, saying that he would come during the winter, and that he wished that the Frank join him in Armenia (...) Amalric of Lusignan, Constable of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, arrived in November (...) and brought with him 300 knights, and as many or more of the Templars and Hospitallers (...) In February a great admiral of the Tatars, named Cotlesser, came to Antioch with 60,000 horsemen, and requested the visit of the king of Armenia, who came with Guy of Ibelin, Count of Jaffa, and John, lord of Giblet. And when they arrived, Cotelesse told them that Ghazan had met great trouble of wind and cold on his way. Cotlesse raided the land from Haleppo to La Chemelle, and returned to his country without doing more".

— Le Templier de Tyre, Chap 620-622
