Ghuraifa (Arabic: الغريفة) is a village in Bahrain that has now been subsumed into the Juffair suburb of Manama, Bahrain. Its Bahraini inhabitants are Baharna Shia.
The village and its descendants have produced a number of prominent Twelver clerics, including:
- Grand Ayatollah Allaedin Ghoraifi of Najaf
- Senior Bahraini cleric Abdullah al Ghuraifi[1]
- Kamaleddin Ghuraifi,[2] the assassinated representative of Ayatollah Sistani in Baghdad.
The village lies west of the United States Naval Support Activity Bahrain base, and south of the Bahrain School.
