Isdud () was a Palestinian village in the region of Tel Ashdod that was depopulated in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. Khalidi says it may have had historic links to Azdud, a postal stop between al-Ramla and Gaza, and the ancient city of Ashdod. The name appears in documents from the time of Mamluk-rule in the mid-15th century. In the Ottoman period, there were 75 households.

Today, the village's ruins form part of the Tel Ashdod archaeological site, which lies within the jurisdiction of the Be'er Tuvia Regional Council. The central village mosque stands at the top of the site, as does the khan and the tomb of Sheikh Abu Qubal.
