Tirat Yehuda ( _he. טירת יהודה, lit. "Judah Castle") is a nationalist-religious moshav in central Israel. Located near Yehud and Ben Gurion International Airport, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hevel Modi'in Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 859.

The moshav was established in 1949 by immigrants from Hungary. Initially it was located north-east of its present site, in an area which is today Bareket, before moving to its current location in 1951. It was named after the nearby abandoned Arab village of al-Tira and the fact that it was in the vicinity of the border of the land of the Tribe of Judah.

In its first years, it was attacked several times by fedayeen, and was a designated border settlement until the Six-Day War.
