Ayun Kara (Arabic: ʿUyūn Qāra, عيون قارة) was a small village or locality in the central coastal region of Ottoman Palestine, located near the site of present-day Ness Ziona, Israel. The name means “Springs of Kara” in Arabic, referring to the natural springs in the area. Though the nearby Jewish agricultural colony of Ness Ziona was established in 1883, Ayun Kara remained distinct in Arabic usage and Ottoman administrative geography.
