Khirbet Sir (Arabic: خربة صير) is a Palestinian town in the Qalqilya Governorate in the eastern West Bank, located 8 kilometers east of Qalqilya.
Following its destruction and abandonment due to 16th-century local conflict, Khirbet Sir was likely resettled in the early 20th century by people from Hajjah.[3] In 2017, it was home to 645 residents.[1]
