Revaha (Hebrew: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />רְוָחָה‎, lit. Comfort) is a religious moshav in south-central Israel. Located in the southern Shephelah near Kiryat Gat, it falls under the jurisdiction of Shafir Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 449.

The village was established in 1953 by immigrants from Kurdistan on lands which had formerly belonged to the destroyed Palestinian village of Hatta. The majority of residents are national-religious.
