Bayada (Arabic: البياضة, Hebrew: בַּיָאדָה) or Khirbet al-Baiyada (Arabic: خربة البياضه, Hebrew: ח'רבת אל-ביאדה) is an Arab village in Israel's Haifa District. The village is in the Wadi Ara area of the northern Triangle, 4 kilometers northeast of Umm al-Fahm. Since 1996, it has been under the jurisdiction of the Ma'ale Iron local council.[3] In mid-2016 the population of Bayada was 486,[2] all of whom are Muslims.[4]

Bayada is the feminine form of the word white in Arabic. The village was so named because of the bright soil found in the area.[5][1]
