Beit Yehoshua ( _he. בֵּית יְהוֹשֻעַ, "lit." House of Yehoshua) is a moshav in central Israel. Located in the coastal plain near Netanya, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hof HaSharon Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 784.

The village was established as a kibbutz on 17 August 1938 by members of the Akiva movement as part of the tower and stockade settlement programme. It was named after Yehoshua Tahon, a Zionist activist. In 1950 it became a moshav shitufi, and later a moshav ovdim.

The moshav is served by Beit Yehoshua Railway Station.
