Ammuqa (also transliterated 'Amuqa and Amuka) was a Palestinian village, located five kilometres northeast of Safed.

In the late 19th century, Ammuqa was one of several villages resettled by Algerian migrants under the auspices of the Ottoman Empire.

Ammuqa was depopulated by Israeli forces in May 1948.
