Josué Jéhouda (born Koldriansky; March 19, 1892 – March 19, 1966) was a Swiss Zionist writer and journalist.

Born in Russia, he fought in the Jewish Legion during World War I, and worked in the Zionist committee in Zürich up until the Balfour Declaration of 1917, founding the Revue juive magazine in Geneva.
