Tzur Hadassah (Hebrew: צוּר הֲדַסָּה, lit. Rock of Hadassah) is a communal settlement in central Israel. Located in the Judean Hills around 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) west of Jerusalem, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Yehuda Regional Council. In 2008 it had a population of 6,100.
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 fifth largest community in the Jerusalem corridor.
