Tirosh (Lang-he|תירוש, lit. "Grape juice") is a moshav in central Israel. Located between Beit Shemesh and Kiryat Malakhi, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Yehuda Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 436.

The village was established in 1955 by immigrants from North Africa on land which had formerly belonged to the abandoned Arab village of Ajjur. Its name is derived from the fact that there are many vineyards in the area.
