Al-Kasayir was a Palestinian Arab village in the District of Haifa. It was depopulated during the 1947–1948 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine on April 16, 1948 under the Battle for Mishmar Ha'emek. It was located 13 km east of Haifa.
Many inhabitants were Muslim Arabs who traced their origins to North Africa.
