Modern Palestinian Judeo-Arabic (MPJA) is a variety of Palestinian and Moroccan Arabic that was spoken by the Old Yishuv in Ottoman and Mandatory Palestine, and currently by a few Israeli Jews in Israel.

It was once spoken by around 10,000 speakers in the 20th century. Today it is nearly extinct with only 5 speakers remaining in Galilee.

MPJA's decline is attributed to the revival of Hebrew and the proliferation of Modern Hebrew among the Yishuv.
