Mahsia (Lang-he|מחסיה, lit. "Shelter") is a moshav in central Israel. Located near Beit Shemesh, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Yehuda Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 385.

The village was established in 1950 by immigrants from Morocco and Yemen. Although it was later abandoned, it was re-settled by Cochin Jews. Its name is taken from the Book of Jeremiah 32:12;

and I delivered the deed of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel mine uncle ['s son] , and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the deed of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the guard.
