Al Luḩayyah (also spelt Luhayyah, Loheia, Luhaiyah, or Loheiya; Arabic: اللحية) is a town on the Tihamah coastal plain, Yemen.

The port lies 6 km (4 miles) southwest of Al Luḩayyah, partially protected by the offshore island of Al-Urmak.

According to local tradition the town was founded at the dawn of the 15th century by a holy man, Sheikh Ali az-Zayla'i, named after the city he was from Zeila in Somalia.

[5] It was captured in 1918 in a joint attack by the British Navy and forces loyal to the Idrisi rulers of Asir,[6] under whose control it remained until 1925 when it again came under Yemeni authority.

[7] The town was formerly a trading centre of significance but has declined in the last two centuries, especially as seaborne traffic has moved to more modern facilities at Ahmadi, the port of Al Hudaydah.
