Dalam Agama Yahudi, shechita (anglikanisasi: /ʃəxiːˈtɑː/; Ibrani: שחיטה; [ʃχiˈta]; juga ditransliterasikan menjadi shehitah, shechitah, shehita) adalah penjagalan mamalia dan unggas tertentu untuk dijadikan makanan sesuai dengan hukum kashrut.

Taurat (Ulangan 12:21) menyatakan bahwa domba dan sapi harus dijagal "sesuai dengan yang kuperintahkan kepadamu", namun dalam lima kitab Musa, terdapat sejumlah praktik shechita yang dideskripsikan.^[1]
