Ma'dhar was a Palestinian village in the Tiberias Subdistrict.

In the late 19th century, Ma'dhar was settled by Algerian migrants from Oued El Berdi and Bouïra under the Ottoman Empire.

The village was depopulated during the 1947–1948 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine on May 12, 1948, by the Golani Brigade of Operation Gideon. It was located 12.5 km southwest of Tiberias.
