Qumya (), was a Palestinian village of 510 inhabitants when it was depopulated prior to the 1948 Arab-Israeli war.
Located 12.5 kilometers north of Baysan, the village was assaulted by the forces of the Golani Brigade on 26 March 1948 during Operation Gideon, on the orders of Yosef Weitz, a representative of the Jewish National Fund (JNF). Its inhabitants fled in fear of being caught in the fighting.
