Mehola (Hebrew: מְחוֹלָה) is a religious moshav and Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Located in the Jordan Valley near the Green Line and the Palestinian village of Bardala,[2] it falls under the jurisdiction of Bik'at HaYarden Regional Council.[3] With an area of 5,000 dunams, in 2022 it had a population of 688.

The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[4]
