Hudaydun (Arabic: حديدون), also recorded as Khirbat Hudaydun, was a Late Ottoman rural estate on the coastal plain east of Caesarea Maritima and west of Pardes Hanna-Karkur in the Haifa Subdistrict. Founded in the late 19th century as part of the Bosnian Muslim resettlement around Caesarea, Hudaydun is cited among the cluster of Bosnian-founded estates near Qisarya, together with al-Zughraniya, al-Manshiya, al-Sufsafa and Burj al-Kheil.
