Wa'arat al-Sarris (Arabic: وعرة السرّيس) was a Palestinian Arab village in the Haifa Subdistrict. During the 1947–1948 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine, there were raids on Arab villages by Jewish forces, which led to flight of the residents and in early January 1948 Hans Moller, the manager of the Ata factory (in modern day Kiryat Ata) offered the residents of the village to find shelter in his factory, which was near the village, but the residents declined the offer, in fear of being targeted by the Palestinian Arabs and fled to Shefa-'Amr. The village was occupied during April, 1948, during the Battle of Ramat Yohanan between the Jews and the Druze battalion of the Arab Liberation Army. The village was located 11 km east of Haifa.
In 1945, it had a population of 190.
