Zaita () is a municipality in the Sidon District of the South Governorate in Lebanon. It is located from Beirut.
The place name ends with a long vowel -ÃÂ, typically reflecting the Aramaic absolute state, a morphological feature widely attested in Palestinian toponyms.
In 1875 Victor Guérin traveled in the region, and he "reached Zeita, a village that crowns a high hill and whose name seems ancient. Its population is 200, all Métualis."
In 2014, Muslims made up 99.31% of registered voters in Zaita. 96.53% of the voters were Shiite Muslims.
