The Jewish Hospital of Tunis (arabe : المستشفى الإسرائيلي بتونس) was a former Tunisian hospital founded for the Tunisian Jewish community. It was founded by Jewish doctors from Livorno.[1] It opened in 1895 at Place Halfaouine,[2] a suburb north of the Medina of Tunis.

Housed in the Khaznadar Palace, it was dedicated to the Jews living in the Hara Quarter of the Tunis Medina.[3]
