Hida (Hungarian: Hidalmás; Yiddish: הידאלמאש (Hidalmash)) is a commune located in Sălaj County, Romania. It is composed of eight villages: Baica (Bányika), Hida, Miluani (Milvány), Păduriș (Tyikló), Racâș (Almásrákos), Sânpetru Almașului (Füzesszentpéter), Stupini (Füzes) and Trestia (Komlósújfalu).
The village of Miluani had 112 inhabitants in 2002 and is famous for its grain and sunflower production. The settlement was first mentioned in Hungarian documents in 1320 as Miluad. From the 13th century the area was property of the Hungarian Zsombor clan. In the 14th century it was donated to the Elefánthy family. A Romanian Orthodox church was built in the 16th century and a new one in 1920. Miluani is the filia of the Roman Catholic parish of Chidea; traditionally its vicars were Franciscans until 1897.
