Castrillo Mota de Judíos, is a municipality located in the province of Burgos, Castile and León, Spain. At the 2004 census (INE) the municipality had a population of 71 inhabitants.
The town is located on a plain area, near the river Odra, 51 km in west of Burgos and 54 in north-east of Palencia. It is crossed by the roads BU-400 and BU-403.
The town was originally named Castrillo Motajudíos ("Hill of Jews Camp") in 1035 when Jews fleeing from a nearby pogrom settled there; it was changed to Castrillo Matajudíos ("Jew-killer Camp") in 1627 during a period of religious persecution of non-Christians in Spain (the Jews had been expelled from Spain in 1492). In June 2015 the name was changed back to Castrillo Mota de Judíos following a campaign led by mayor Lorenzo Rodríguez leading to a vote among the villagers in May 2014.
The 2005 French film Saint-Jacques... La Mecque, directed by Coline Serreau, was set also in the town.
