Davidka (bahasa Yiddi: דוידקה, "Little David") adalah sebuah mortar Israel buatan dalam negeri yang dipakai di Safed dan Yerusalem pada tahap-tahap awal Perang Kemerdekaan Israel tahun 1948. Bom-bomnya dikabarkan sangat berisik, tetapi sangat tak akurat dan memiliki kadar yang kecil untuk menakut-nakuti lawan; mereka biasanya dipakai untuk menakut-nakuti prajurit dan warga sipil Arab. Senjata tersebut secara nominal diklasifikasikan sebagai mortar 3-inch (76.2 mm), meskipun bomnya dianggap berukuran lebih besar.[1][2]
