Dahaniya (Arabic: الدهنية; Hebrew: דהנייה) was a village near the southernmost point in the Gaza Strip, evacuated in Israel's disengagement of 2005.
Dahaniya was located in a no man's land between Israel and the Gaza Strip, in between the kibbutz of Kerem Shalom and the city of Rafah, south of Yasser Arafat International Airport (also called Dahaniya Airport) and close to the Egyptian border. It had been administered by the Israeli Civil Administration since the Oslo accords.
