1933]]

The Ebright Azimuth is the point with the highest natural elevation in the American state of Delaware. It is marked with a geodetic benchmark monument and has an elevation of 447.85 feet above sea level. The only state high-point with a lower elevation is Britton Hill in the state Florida at 345 feet above sea level.

The Ebright Azimuth is located about 6.5 miles north of downtown Wilmington, Delaware, in far northern New Castle County, within a few feet of the Pennsylvania state line. It is near Concord High School, to the north of Naaman's Road, State Route 92, at the middle of the intersection of Ebright Road and Ramblewood Drive. This is an entrance to the Dartmouth Woods development.

Contrary to what many people believe upon first impression, "Ebright Azimuth" is not a person's first and last name. Ebright is the name of the road where the monument is located and also the last name of a local family. However, the term Azimuth refers to the horizontal component of a direction.
