Gan Yoshiya (Hebrew: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />גַּן יֹאשִׁיָּה, lit. Josiah's Garden) is a moshav in central Israel. Located near the Green Line in the Tulkarm area, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hefer Valley Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 665.
The moshav was founded on 6 December 1949 by demobilised Palmach soldiers and repatriants from Romania, and was initially named Nahal Reuven, but was later renamed in honour of Josiah Wedgwood.
