Beit Nehemia (Hebrew: בֵּית נְחֶמְיָה, lit. House of Nehemiah) is a moshav in central Israel. Located near Shoham, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hevel Modi'in Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 730.
The village was established in 1950 on the land of the destroyed Arab villages of Beit Nabala by Jewish immigrants from Persia, and was named after Nehemia, a rich man which donated money for Beit Nehemia's foundation.
A common mistake is that the moshav is called after the prophet Nehemiah.
