Ya'ara (Hebrew: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />יַעֲרָה, lit. honeysuckle and honeycomb) is a moshav in northern Israel. Located near Ma'alot-Tarshiha, it falls under the jurisdiction of Ma'ale Yosef Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 533.
The village was established in 1950 on the ruins of the depopulated Palestinian Arab village Arab al-Samniyya by immigrants from North Africa and local Bedouin, and was the first mixed Jewish-Bedouin village in the country. It was named after the surrounding forests.
