Usha (Hebrew: אושא) was an ancient Jewish town in the western part of Galilee.[1][2] It was identified in the late 19th century by Victor Guérin, who found the ruins on which the Arab village of Hawsha was built.[3]
The modern kibbutz of Usha, Israel is located several kilometers to the west. The site is close to the town of Kiryat Ata.[4]
