Qaber Shamiyah (Arabic: قبر شامية), also known as Dizen[2][3] (ديزن), is a village near Tell Tamer in western al-Hasakah Governorate, northeastern Syria. Administratively it belongs to the Nahiya Tell Tamer.
The village is inhabited by Assyrians belonging to the Assyrian Church of the East, and Arabs.[4] At the 2004 census, it had a population of 734.[1] When the Islamic State group took over, the Mar Chamoun church was burned. By the end of 2021, there were only three Assyrian Christians remaining in the village.[5]
