Motza, also Mozah or Motsa, (Hebrew: מוֹצָא, Arabic: موتسا), is a neighbourhood on the western edge of Jerusalem. It is located in the Judaean Mountains, 600 metres (2,000 ft) above sea level, connected to Jerusalem by the Jerusalem–Tel Aviv highway, Highway 16, and the winding mountain road to Har Nof.

Established in 1854, Motza was the first Jewish farm founded outside the walls of the Old City in the modern era.

It is situated near Tel Motza, an archaeological site and the location of the Biblical village of the same name mentioned in Joshua 18:26.
