Aïn Beïda, town, northeastern Algeria. It is situated on a plateau at the eastern edge of the Sétif plains. The plateau, once occupied by a large lake, now has several shallow depressions containing saline lakes. Sheltered on the east by wooded hills, Aïn Beïda is in a grain-producing area irrigated by wells and springs.

Evidence of Roman settlement can be noted in the remains of lead and copper mines in the neighbouring hills and in the inscriptions that are on display in the Public Garden. Aïn Beïda was founded as a French military post (two forts, 1848 and 1850) to control the powerful, Arabized Harakta Berbers (Amazigh). It is a road and rail junction as well as a trading centre for agriculture produce. There are saltworks at the Garaet et-Tarf Depression, 11 miles (18 km) southwest, and phosphate deposits are located nearby. Pop. (1998) 90,560; (2008) 115,286.
