Sitria (Hebrew: סִתְרִיָה) is a moshav in central Israel. Located in the Shfela near Rehovot, it falls under the jurisdiction of Gezer Regional Council. In 2015 it had a population of 1,022.
The moshav was founded on Lag BaOmer in 1949 on the land that had belonged to the depopulated Arab village of Abu al-Fadl, by 95 families from Poland and Romania who had been interned in a detention camp in Cyprus. Prior to 1948, the Sitriya Bedouin tribe lived in the area.
Domaine Herzberg, a boutique winery, is located in Sitria. The moshav also operates a riding stable, Susey Adama.
