Mansurat al-Khayt was a Palestinian Arab village in the District of Safad. It was depopulated during the 1947–1948 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine on January 18, 1948. It was located 11.5 km east of Safad, 1 km west of the Jordan River.

In 1945, the village had a population of 200. The village was also known by Mansurat al-Hula to distinguish it from al-Mansura, Safad and had a shrine for a local sage known as al-Shaykh Mansur from which the village was named after.
