Esh Kodesh (Template:Lang-he, lit. Fire of Sacredness) is an Israeli outpost in the West Bank. It is near Shvut Rachel and Qusra. It falls under the jurisdiction of the Mateh Binyamin Regional Council.

Esh Kodesh was founded in 2000 as a illegal outpost of Shvut Rachel. Its residents have received paramilitary training from Mishmeret Yesha.
In September 2011 the Israel Defense Forces set up a base near Esh Kodesh.
Population
In the summer of 2005 the population of Esh Kodesh was fewer than 12 families.
