Stella K. Abraham Beit Midrash for Women, commonly known as Migdal Oz (Hebrew: בית מדרש לנשים מגדל עז), is a Modern Orthodox institution of higher Torah study for women located in the Kibbutz Migdal Oz in Gush Etzion in the West Bank.

[1] Migdal Oz is the sister school of Yeshivat Har Etzion, sharing its general philosophy, leadership and many faculty members.

The total student population is 180,[2] including 30 from the U.S., Canada, and England, and more than 40 in the advanced teachers' training program.

The program began as a framework for Israeli high school graduates prior to doing Sherut Leumi (National service) or being drafted into the Israel Defense Forces.
