Ge'a (Hebrew: גֵּיאָה) is a moshav in southern Israel. Located three kilometres south-east of Ashkelon near Beit Shikma and Talmei Yafeh, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hof Ashkelon Regional Council. In 2024 it had a population of 771.

The moshav was founded in 1949 by Jewish immigrants from Czechoslovakia and Hungary, and was named after the depopulated Palestinian village of al-Jiyya, which had previously been located nearby.

This location might be identified as the biblical Giah, although this is disputed.
