Usha (Hebrew: אושא) was an ancient Jewish town in the western part of Galilee. It was identified in the late 19th century by Victor Guérin, who found the ruins on which the Arab village of Hawsha was built.

The modern kibbutz of Usha, Israel is located several kilometers to the west. The site is close to the town of Kiryat Ata.
