The 1927 Jericho earthquake was a devastating event that shook Mandatory Palestine and Transjordan on July 11 at 15:04 local time.

The cities of Jerusalem, Jericho, Ramla, Tiberias, and Nablus were heavily damaged, and between 287 and 400[7] people were estimated to have been killed.

Vered and Striem (1977) located the earthquake epicenter to be near the Damya Bridge in the Jordan Valley, and close to the city of Jericho.

The earthquake also caused heavy damage to the domes of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the al-Aqsa Mosque.

In Jericho, a number of houses collapsed, including several relatively new hotels.
