Nordia (Hebrew: נוֹרְדִיָּה‎‎) is a moshav shitufi in central Israel. Located in the Sharon plain near Netanya and the HaSharon Junction, it falls under the jurisdiction of Lev HaSharon Regional Council. In 2007 it had a population of 2,100.^{[citation needed]}

The village was founded in 1948 by demobilised Irgun and Betar soldiers. The founders came from two organisations - Margolim based in Kfar Yona and Wajwad based in Mishmar HaYarden. The new moshav is a member Mishkei Herut Beitar.^{[citation needed]}

Nordia was established in August 1948 on the land of the depopulated Palestinian village named Khirbat Bayt Lid.^[1][2]

In 1994 a new neighbourhood, Neot Nordia, was established.^{[citation needed]}
