Masua (Hebrew: מַשּׂוּאָה, lit. Torch, Arabic: مسواه), also transliterated as Massu'a, is an Israeli settlement organized as a moshav shitufi in the West Bank. Located in the Jordan Valley, with an area of 6,000 dunams, it falls under the jurisdiction of Bik'at HaYarden Regional Council. In 2023 it had a population of 434.
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli and US governments dispute this.
