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. In mid-2016 the population of Bayada was 486, all of whom are Muslims. The vast majority of the residents are members of the Jabbarin clan (Who also live in nearby Salim and Musheirifa) and most of the residents work in construction and other related jobs. Bayada started as part of Musheirifa and later became a separate village.
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.
Bayada is one of the smallest villages in the region and is located on a hill overlooking Wadi Ara. The village is located between the Umm al-Fahm mountain ridge and the Menashe Heights.
The village was originally a neighborhood of Musheirifa
