al-Jiyya (Arabic: الجية, also transliterated Algie) was a Palestinian village that was depopulated during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.

[1] During the 17th and 18th centuries, the area of al-Jiya experienced a significant process of settlement decline due to nomadic pressures on local communities.

[11] In 1863 the French explorer Victor Guérin called the village Ed-Deir, and he estimated it had three hundred and fifty inhabitants.

[12] In 1883, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine called it Ejjeh, and described it as "a moderate-sized mud village, with a pool to the north.

At the end of November 1948, Coastal Plain District troops carried out sweeps of the villages around and to the south of Majdal.

The troops found "about 40" villagers in Barbara and al-Jiyya, "composed of women, old men and children", who offered no resistance.

Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi stated in 1992 that there were no traces of the village remaining and that the residents of moshav Beit Shikma had planted cantaloupes on the land.
