The Blakhiya Byzantine cemetery in the Gaza Strip in Palestine was used as a burial place from the 3rd to 5th centuries.

Little archaeological activity was carried out in the north of the Gaza Strip for much of the 20th century due to political circumstances and as there was a greater focus on the Biblical and Ancient Egyptian sites elsewhere in the region.

The layout at Blakhiya is comparable to the broadly contemporary cemeteries at Be'er Sheva and Khirbat Faynan.

Preliminary investigations uncovered two tombs and demonstrated that the site dated to the Byzantine period.

The research was conducted jointly by the Department of Antiquities of Gaza and the École Biblique.
