耶弗他 (英语发音：英语发音：/ˈdʒɛfθə/，拼音也做Jephtha或Jephte; (希伯来语：יפתח‎, "Yifthaḥ"; 希腊语：Ιεφθάε; 拉丁语：Jephte;埃塞俄比亚的阿姆哈拉语：ዬፍታሄ,"Yoftahe")。旧约圣经《士师记》中人物，在以色列担任6年的士师(士师记12:7)。耶弗他的记载出现在《士师记》第10章第6节至第12章第7节。

耶弗他生活在基列，并且是玛拿西半支派的成员，父亲的名字也是基列，母亲则是妓女。耶弗他主要事迹是领导以色列人击败亚扪人，《士师记》记载，以色列人故态复萌，崇拜假神偶像，耶和华的怒气再次向这个国家发作。百姓受亚扪人与非利士人扰害欺压。以色列人召回被赶逐的耶弗他，要他带领他们争战。在这个争论中，谁是真正的审判官成了焦点问题。耶弗他说：“愿审判人的耶和华今日在以色列人和亚扪人中间判断是非”（《士师记》第11章第27节_参）。

Jephthah (pronounced /ˈdʒɛfθə/; Hebrew:יפתח‎ Yip̄tāḥ), appears in the Book of Judges as a judge over Israel for a period of six years (Judges 12:7). He lived in Gilead and was a member either of the tribe of Manasseh or of the tribe of Gad. His father's name is also given as Gilead and, as his mother is described as a prostitute, this may mean that his father may have been any of the men of that area. Jephthah led the Israelites in battle against Ammon and, after defeating the Ammonites, fulfilled a rash vow of his, by sacrificing his daughter. Traditionally, Jephthah is listed among major judges on the ground of the length of the biblical narrative referring to him, but his story also shows signs of minor judges, for instance only six years duration of his office as judge.
