At-Tur (Template:Lang-ar, lit. "The Mount" in Arabic) is an Arab neighborhood on the Mount of Olives approximately 1 km east of the Old City of Jerusalem. At-Tur is situated in East Jerusalem, which was annexed by Israel after the Six-Day War in 1967.

At-Tur has a population of 18,150, mostly Muslim Arabs with a small Christian minority. Landmarks in At-Tur include the Augusta Victoria Hospital, the Church and Convent of Pater Noster, where the Lord's Prayer is inscribed in 110 languages, and the Seven Arches Hotel.

Al-Makassed Hospital, a 250-bed medical facility with in-patient and out-patient services, is located in a-Tur.
