El Santa is a city in the Gharbia Governorate of Egypt, in the centre of the Nile Delta on flat dark alluvial clay laid down by Nile silt. Its population was estimated at 42,000 in 2018 and at 48,038 in 2025. In 1884 the administrative centre of the Al-Ja'fariyya district was moved here because of the town's railway connection, and the district was renamed El-Santa District in 1896. The area of Manshat El-Santa began as a satellite locality, was separated administratively in 1932 and was annexed in 1960 to form the present city. The built-up area grew from 17.5 feddans in 1897 to 371 feddans by 1986. The district borders El-Mahalla El-Kubra to the north, Zefta to the east, Tanta to the west and Barkat El-Sabe to the south.
