Shavei Tzion (Template:Lang-he-n, lit. Returnees to Zion) is a moshav shitufi in northern Israel. Located between Acre and Nahariya and covering 2,000 dunams, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Asher Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 654.
The village was established on 13 April 1938 as part of the tower and stockade settlement scheme. Its founders, immigrants from Rexingen in Germany, had arrived during the Fifth Aliyah. Shavei Tzion is considered one up the most beautiful town in the Galilee due to the proximity to the Mediterranean Sea.
Seven of the Acre Prison break fighters who were killed during the operation are buried in the local cemetery.
A memorial was erected on the beach in 1999, commemorating the death of 12 IDF soldiers in an operation in Lebanon and an old ship of the Israeli Navy, Kidon, was sunk as an additional memorial and tourist attraction.
