Zaghdraiya (also Zeghdrâya, Zoghedraya, Zghedraia. Arabic: زغدرايا) is a town in the South Governorate in Lebanon. It is located southeast of Sidon. The village is bordered with a number of villages/towns like Darb es Sim, Maghdouche, Miye ou Miye.

The word Zaghdraiya means “castle” or “fortress” possibly due to the fact that the village is surrounded by hill tops in almost every direction.
