Susya (Template:Lang-he-n) is a religious Israeli communal settlement in the southern Hebron Hills of the West Bank. Located to the south of Hebron, it falls under the jurisdiction of Har Hebron Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 737.

The village was established in 1983 on expropriated Palestinian land, next to the Palestinian village of Susya, from which a dozen local families had been expelled to make way for an archeological park. The Palestinians that remain live in tents on a small rocky hill between the settlement and the archeological park[1]said to contain the remains of ancient Susya, and which is located within walking distance. The Israeli Civil Administration has ordered the demolition of what remains of the Palestinian Susya.
