Umm Safa/Kafr Ishwa (Arabic: أم صفا) or Um Al-Safa is a Palestinian village in the Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate.

[1] A largely forested 3,500 ha site in the vicinity of the villages of Umm Safa and Nabi Salih has been recognised as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports a population of lesser spotted eagles.

[7] Pottery sherds from the early Ottoman era have been found here,[7] and a village by the name of "Kfar Shu" appears in 17th century tax records.

[12][13] In 1882 the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described Umm Suffah (also called Kefr Ishwah) as "a village on high ground on the Roman road to Antipatris.

"[5] Located within the village is the mosque of a-Nabi Hanun, which includes an unmarked grave said to belong to a local Muslim saint of the same name.
