Wadi Qabbani (ar|وادي قباني), also known as Khirbat ash Sheik Husein (ar|خربة الشيخ حسين) was a Palestinian Arab village in the Tulkarm Subdistrict. It was probably depopulated during the 1947–48 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine on March 1, 1948, as part of Operation Coastal Clearing. It was located 12 km northwest of Tulkarm. The name, Qabbani came from the Lebanese family who owned most of the land.
In the 1945 statistics the village had a total population of 210 Muslims[2] with a total of 9,812 dunams of land.[3]
