Al-Sufsafa (Arabic: الصفصافة), also recorded locally as Khirbat Sufsafi (Arabic: خربة الصفضافة), was a Late Ottoman rural estate on the dunes and low hills east of Caesarea Maritima and north-east of Pardes Hanna-Karkur in the Haifa Subdistrict. Established in the 1880s by Bosnian Muslim settlers in the Caesarea area, it formed part of a cluster of Bosnian-founded estates around Qisarya (Caesarea), together with sites such as al-Zughraniyya, al-Manshiya, Burj al-Kheil and Hudaydun.
