Gila Finkelstein (Hebrew: גילה פינקלשטיין, born 22 September 1950) is a former Israeli politician who served as a member of the Knesset for the National Religious Party between 2003 and 2006.
Born in Tel Aviv, Finkelstein studied English and Israeli history at Tel Aviv University, where she gained a BA and a teaching certificate. She went on to gain an MA in educational management, and work as an English teacher and headmistress.
In 2003 she was elected to the Knesset on the National Religious Party list, and was appointed a Deputy Speaker of the Knesset.

For the 2006 elections she was placed tenth on the joint National Union-National Religious Party list,[1] but lost her seat when the alliance won only nine seats.
