Ma'ale Shomron (Template:Lang-he-n), is an Israeli settlement and communal village located about 300 metres above sea level in the northern West Bank in the Samarian hills under the administrative local government of the Shomron Regional Council. The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.

Founded in February 1980 by a mixed group of Orthodox and non-religious Israelis from the Beitar and Herut movements, the settlement now numbers more than 150 families with plans to expand to around 330 families. It is closely bordered by Karnei Shomron.

Notable residents

• Dani Dayan (b. 1955), Consul General of Israel in New York and former head of Yesha Council
