Tzafria ( _he. צפריה) is a religious moshav in central Israel. Located near Ben Gurion International Airport, it falls under the jurisdiction of Lod Valley Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 600.

The village was founded in 1949 by immigrants from Czechoslovakia and Hungary on the land of the abandoned Arab village of al-Safiriyya. Its name is derived from that of the former Arab village, and was initially called Safria Alef and then Kfar Tzafria before adopting the current name.
