Al-Kafrayn (Arabic: الكفرين) was a Palestinian Arab village in the Haifa Subdistrict. It was depopulated during the 1947–48 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine on 12 April 1948 as part of the Battle of Mishmar HaEmek. It was located 29.5 km southeast of Haifa. The Crusaders referred to al-Kafrayn as Caforana.
In 1945, the village had a population of 920. Today, an Israeli military training camp occupies the area.
