Hulda (Template:Lang-he-n) is a kibbutz in central Israel. Located in the Shephelah near the Hulda forest and the Burma Road, it falls under the jurisdiction of Gezer Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 332.
In 1908 the World Zionist Organization established a farm on the land which now makes up Hulda in order to prepare and train new immigrants for agricultural life. They also planted the nearby forest using money from the Jewish National Fund. The kibbutz takes its name from the Palestinian village of Khulda, which existed nearby until the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.
During World War I the farm was abandoned and after the war it became a training farm. After the farm was attacked during the 1929 Palestine riots, a kibbutz was established (as a kvutza) in 1930 by Gordonia members. The founders originally resided in the Hulda farm (in the Hulda forest) and moved to the current location in 1937. During the 1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine the kibbutz was attacked several times, and during the 1948 war it served as the headquarters of the Palmach Yiftach Brigade and as a base for convoys headed for Jerusalem and for the forces attacking Latrun.
Notable residents of the kibbutz have included the author Amos Oz, former Minister of Defence Pinhas Lavon and mayor of Tel Aviv, Ron Huldai (whose father took the family's surname from the name of the kibbutz).
