Al-Butaymat (Arabic: البطيمات, El Buteimât) was a Palestinian Arab village located 31 kilometers (19 mi) southeast of Haifa. In 1945, the village had a population of 110.[4] It was depopulated during the 1947–1948 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine on May 1, 1948 under the Battle for Mishmar Ha'emek.
Umm el Buteimât is mentioned in the Survey of Western Palestine (1838), where its name is translated as "the place with the terebinths."[5]
