Horbat 'Uza (Hebrew: חורבת עוצה and Hebrew: חירבת אל עיאדייה) is an archaeological site located in the Northern Coastal Plain, 8 km east of Acre, Israel. Interesting findings from the Neolithic, classical antiquity and Crusader period have been made during salvage excavations caused by the construction of a modern highway and a new railway line cutting through the site.

Saladin encamped there during the Siege of Acre (1189–1191).
