Shelomi or Shlomi (Hebrew: שלומי‎) is a development town in North District of Israel. As of 2003, Shelomi had 5,100 inhabitants.

Shelomi is supported in the main by the UJIA (United Jewish Israel Appeal), and by youth groups in Britain such as the Association of Jewish Sixthformers.

It has been the target of Hezbollah attacks, where they launched Katyusha rocket attacks on May 11, 2005, Israel's Independence Day, and repeated the attack on Israel's Independence Day in 2006.

It was again the target of rocket attacks on July 12, 2006, a diversion to facilitate the killing of three soldiers and kidnapping two others, which sparked the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict.
