Hosha'aya ( _he. הושעיה) is a national-religious communal settlement in northern Israel. Located to the south-east of Shefa-'Amr, it falls under the jurisdiction of Jezreel Valley Regional Council. In 2007 it had a population of 1,600.

The village was established in 1980 as a Nahal settlement as part of the Lookouts in the Galilee plan. Three years later it was civilianised and 10 families moved into caravans on the site, though some of the original Nahal settlers still live there.
