Kfar Uria (Lang-he|כפר אוריה, lit. "Uriah Village") 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 445.

The village was first established in 1912 on land bought from Bialystok Jews, and served as an agricultural training place. Amongst the residents were A. D. Gordon. However, the settlement was destroyed during the 1929 Palestine riots. In 1944 a new village was established on the ruins of the original one. However, it too was destroyed, during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.

A third and final attempt at settling the area was made in 1949, when a moshav was established on the site.
