Saqiya (, the Arabic name of a mechanical water lifting device) was a village in Palestine (Jaffa district) away from Jaffa, depopulated in 1948.
==Location== The village was located east of Jaffa, above sea level, on uneven land in the central coastal plain. A number of paved roads passing through or near the village allowed them to easy access to Ludd and Jaffa, Tel Aviv, as well as the villages adjacent to it.
