Tzur Hadassah ( _he. צור הדסה, lit. "Rock of Hadassah") is a communal settlement in central Israel. Located in the Judean Hills around 15 minutes west of Jerusalem, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Yehuda Regional Council. In 2007 it had a population of 4,100.

The village was established in 1960 as a service centre for nearby moshavim (Bar Giora , Mata, Mevo Beitar and Nes Harim), and was named after the Hadassah organisation. In the following years, the village grew and is now the fourth largest community in the Jerusalem corridor.
