Ramot HaShavim (Hebrew: רָמוֹת הַשָּׁבִים, lit. Heights of the Repatriates) is a Jewish village in central Israel and was founded by German Jewish immigrants to Israel. Located between Hod HaSharon and Ra'anana and covering around 2,300 dunams, it falls under the jurisdiction of Drom HaSharon Regional Council. In 2007 it had a population of 1,300.

It was established as a moshav in 1933 by German immigrants of the Fifth Aliyah. In 1951 it became a local council, but as part of local government reforms in 2003 reverted to village status under the jurisdiction of a regional council.
