Netu'a (Hebrew: נְטוּעָה, lit. Planted) is an moshav in northern Israel. Located near the Lebanese border, it falls under the jurisdiction of Ma'ale Yosef Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 251.

The village was established in 1966 by residents of other local moshavim as part of a plan to encourage more Jewish settlement in the Galilee. It is founded on the land of the Palestinian village of Dayr al-Qassi,^[1] which was depopulated in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.
