Yubla ( _ar. يبلى, known to the Crusaders as Hubeleth) was a Palestinian village, located 9 kilometers north of Bisan in present-day Israel. It was depopulated during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war.cite web|title=Welcome to Yubla|publisher=Palestine Remembered|accessdate=2007-12-06|url=http://www.palestineremembered.com/Baysan/Yubla/index.html] By the time Israel's 'Barak' troops arrived in the village on 7 June 1948, a house-to house search found the village to be completely empty.Morris, 2004, p. 262.]
Kibbutz Bet ha-Shittah and the Gush Nuris settlements were given thousands of dunams of refugee land from Yubla and the neighbouring villages of al-Murassas, Kafra, Qumiya, and Zi'rin by the Histadrut's Agicrultural Center in July and October 1948.Fischbach, 2003, p. 13.]

Today, the Israeli locality of Moledet is located on part of Yubla's former lands. Walid Khalidi notes of the former village that, "The site and part of the lands are fenced in by barbed wire and are used by Israelis as a cow pasture."
