The Byzantine Church of Khirbet et-Tireh is the archaeological site of a ruined church located 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) west of the city of Ramallah in Palestine. The church was established in the 4th or 5th century, continued in use through the Umayyad period, and fell out of use after the mid-8th century. Parts of the building were still standing in the 19th century. It was excavated by archaeologists from Al-Quds University in 2013.
