Seida (Arabic: صيدا) is a Palestinian town in the Tulkarm Governorate of the State of Palestine, in the eastern West Bank, located 20 kilometers northeast of Tulkarm. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, Seida had a population of 3,777 in 2017. Ceramics from the Iron Age II, Hellenistic, early and late Roman, Byzantine, early Muslim and the Middle Ages have been found here. In 1179, during the Crusader era, it appeared as an estate, sold to the Zion Monastery in Jerusalem. In 1265, following his victory over the Crusaders, Sultan Baibars granted Seida to his followers. The entire village was assigned to Emir Husam al-Din Itamish b. Utlis Khan. In 1517, Seida, like all of Palestine, was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire. In the 1596 tax registers, it was part of the nahiya ("subdistrict") of Jabal Sami, part of the larger Sanjak of Nablus. It had a population of 70 households and 2 bachelors, all Muslims.
