Alia Baha ud-din Toukan (Arabic: علياء بھاء الدين طوقان) (25 December 1948 – 9 February 1977) was the Queen consort of Jordan and the third wife of King Hussein of Jordan from her marriage in 1972 until her death in a helicopter crash in 1977. The international airport in Amman is named after her.

Alia was born in Cairo, Egypt in December 1948. Her father was a Palestinian from Nablus, who had settled in Salt, near Amman.
