Al Nahda (Arabic: النهدة‎) is a locality in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). Located in eastern Dubai in Deira, Al Nahda forms part of Dubai's eastern border with the emirate of Sharjah. Portions of Al Nahda that flow north into the emirate of Sharjah fall within that emirate's jurisdiction.

Al Nahda, literally meaning The Awakening, is bordered to the south and east by Al Qusais, and to the west by Al Mamzar. It is bounded to the north by route E 11 (Al Ittihad Road) and to the south by a local road (204 Road). Al Nahda comprises two subcommunities — Al Nahda 1 and Al Nahda 2.

The community, currently under development, is largely industrial and sparsely populated. Like Muhaisnah, Al Nahda was carved out of the industrial areas of Al Qusais. The Dubai Women's College is located in Al Nahda.
