In this paper, the notion of hybrid structure is applied to the ideal theory in BCI-algebras. In fact, we introduce the notions of hybrid
p
-ideal, hybrid h-ideal, and hybrid a-ideal in BCI-algebras and investigate their related properties. Furthermore, we show that every hybrid
p
-ideal (or h-ideal or a-ideal) is a hybrid ideal in a BCI-algebra but converse need not be true in general and in support, and we exhibit counter examples for each case. Moreover, we consider characterizations of hybrid
p
-ideal, hybrid h-ideal, and hybrid a-ideal in BCI-algebras.
