Shim'a (Hebrew: שמעה), is a non-religious Jewish village and Israeli settlement in the southern Hebron Hills of the West Bank along the Green Line south of Livneh and Omarim. The village is located on a hill 600 metres above sea level and within the municipal jurisdiction of the Har Hebron Regional Council. The village is named after Shammah, the third son of David.
