thumbnail|The barrier in northern Jerusalem, which confines Kalandia village (in the north) to an enclave under Israeli control
Qalandia or Qalandiya (), also known as Kalandia (), is a Palestinian village located in the West Bank, between Jerusalem and Ramallah, just west of the West Bank barrier. The village had a population of 572 residents in 2017. Qalandia is also the name of a refugee camp, established by UNRWA in 1949. It is located just east of Jerusalem municipality. Qalandia refugee camp was built for Palestinian refugees who fled from Lydda, Ramla, and Jerusalem during the 1948 Palestinian expulsion and flight.
