Mitzpa (Hebrew: מִצְפָּה‎‎) is a moshava in the Lower Galilee Regional Council, Israel. The village is adjacent to the Sea of Galilee and Tiberias.

It was founded in 1908 in the period of the Second Aliyah by the Jewish Colonization Association.

Mitzpa means in Hebrew "observatory", a name which was given to the village due to the location in which one has a good observation of the Sea of Galilee, Mount Arbel and Safed.

The main branches of the village are agriculture, entrepreneurship, tourism (hospitality rooms) and others work outside of the village.
