Keida (), also transcribed Kida, is an Israeli outpost in the West Bank named after a genus of flower that grows in the region. It is situated just off the Allon Road, a five-minute drive east of Shilo, which is the mother-town of these outposts. It forms one of six Israeli outposts, built on land seized from the Palestinian villages of Jalud, Qaryut, Turmus Ayya and al-Mughayir. Among the other settlements belonging to the group at Shvut Rachel, Giv'at Har'el, Esh Kodesh, Ahiya and Adei Ad. Keida was established without a master plan or permission to build. The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.
By 2009, it comprised 35 portable homes.
