Trilingual road sign at entrance to Tekoa

Tekoa (Template:Lang-he) is an Israeli settlement in the northern Judean hills in the West Bank. The yishuv was founded in 1977 on the top of a hill among ruins of the site of biblical Tekoa, 5 miles south of Bethlehem, and close to Beth-haccerem ("Herod's mountain"). The town has developed a mixed population consisting of both religious and secular residents, as well as many new immigrants from the Commonwealth of Independent States. Tekoa is within the municipal jurisdiction of the Gush Etzion Regional Council.

Tekoa is home to a hesder yeshiva. Controversial Rabbi Menachem Froman is the town's rabbi.
