空中花園(古希臘文:οἱ [τῆς Σεμιράμιδος] Κῆποι Κρεμαστοὶ Βαβυλώνιοι),又叫懸園,係古代世界七大奇蹟之一。嚮前6世紀由新巴比倫王國尼布甲尼撒二世(Nebuchadnezzar)喺巴比倫城為佢患咗思鄉病嘅王妃安美依迪絲(Amyitis)起嘅。而家已經成為傳說。

呢個空中花園據說係用咗立體造型,有4層平台,由瀝青同磚塊起成,平台由25米高石柱支撐,有灌溉系統,由奴隸負責打理,佢哋不停噉推動連住齒輪嘅把手。花園種咗各種花草樹木,離遠睇好似有個花園喺半空。佢個名純粹係出自希臘文paradeisos一字意譯。又可以叫做「梯形高台」。所以推測「空中花園」實際上就係起喺「梯形高台」上面嘅花園。希臘文paradeisos(空中花園)後來變成咗英文paradise(天堂)。
