The '''Trans-Israel pipeline''' ({{langx|he|קו צינור אילת אשקלון}}), also  '''Tipline''', '''Eilat–Ashkelon Pipeline''', or '''Europe–Asia Pipeline''' is an oil pipeline in [[Israel]] extending from the [[Gulf of Aqaba]] on the [[Red Sea]] to the [[Mediterranean Sea]]. It was originally built to transport crude oil originating from [[Iran]] inside Israel and to [[Europe]].

The 254&nbsp;km, 42" pipeline's capacity from a special pier in [[Ashkelon]] to [[Eilat]]'s [[port of Eilat|port]] on the [[Red Sea]] is {{convert|400000|oilbbl|m3}} per day, and {{convert|1.2|Moilbbl/d|m3/d}} in the opposite direction. The pipeline is owned and operated by the [[Eilat Ashkelon Pipeline Company]] (EAPC) which also operates several other oil pipelines in [[Israel]].
