The Holy Land (Hebrew: ארץ הקודש, Erets HaQodesh; Aramaic: ארעא קדישא, Ar'a Qaddisha; Greek: Άγιοι Τόποι, Agioi Topoi; Latin: Terrae Sanctae; Arabic: الأرض المقدسة, al-Arḍ ul-Muqaddasah) refers to the Land of Israel, also known as Palestine. Specifically, it includes those areas of Israel which hold specific, significant religious importance to the monotheistic Abrahamic religions of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and Bahá'í.

These areas include, but are not limited to, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Bethlehem, the Western Wall, Temple Mount, and the Dome of the Rock.
