Braaid (Manx: Braaid) is a hamlet in the parish of Marown on the Isle of Man, about 6 km west of the capital Douglas.

In Manx, braaid means 'gullet, gorge; breast of a hill', the latter meaning possibly in reference to the aforementioned ancient settlement.

The hamlet consists of a main concentration of houses around this crossroads and some other farms and dwellings which surround it.

[2] It is now mainly used to hold Eisteddfods, sports days, jumble sales and other events for the local community.

The Braaid Eisteddfod is an annual musical and literary festival that started in the 1950s.
