'''Mas'ade''' ({{langx|ar|مسعدة}}, {{langx|he|מַסְעַדֶה}}) is a [[Druze]] village in the northern [[Golan Heights]]. It covers an area of {{convert|11985|dunam}}, and in {{Israel populations|Year}} had a population of {{Israel populations|Mas'ade}}. It was given the status of a [[local council (Israel)|local council]] in 1982. Its inhabitants are mostly [[Syria]]n citizens and have [[permanent residency]] in [[Israel]]. Since the adoption of the 1981 [[Golan Heights Law]], Mas'ade is under Israeli civil law and is incorporated into the Israeli system of local councils.
Mas'ade is one of the four remaining Druze-Syrian communities on the Israeli-occupied side of the Golan Heights and on Mount Hermon, together with [[Majdal Shams]], [[Ein Qiniyye]] and [[Buq'ata]]. Geographically a distinction is made between the Golan Heights and Mount Hermon, the boundary being marked by the Sa'ar Stream; however, administratively they are usually lumped together. Mas'ade and Buq'ata are on the Golan side of the boundary and are characterized by black volcanic rock (basalt), while Majdal Shams and Ein Qiniyye are on the Hermon side, thus sitting on limestone.
Near Mas'ade are [[Lake Ram]] and {{ill|שמורת יער אודם|lt=Odem Forest|he}}.
Mas'ade is located at the intersection of [[Route 99 (Israel)|Route 99]], which leads west to [[Kiryat Shmona]], and [[Route 98 (Israel)|Route 98]], which leads north to [[Mount Hermon]] and south to the [[Sea of Galilee|Kinneret]] (Sea of Galilee/Lake Tiberias).
