Ma'ale Shlomo (Hebrew: מַעֲלֶה שְׁלֹמֹה‎‎, lit. Solomon's Ascent) is an Israeli settlement outpost in the West Bank. Located to the south of Kokhav HaShahar, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Binyamin Regional Council.

It was named after Shlomo Alba, an agronomist from Kokhav HaShahar.

The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[1]
