Shim'a ({{langx|he|שִׁמְעָה}}), also Yonadav ({{langx|he|יוֹנָדָב}}), is an Israeli settlement in the West Bank, along the Green Line south of Livne and Teneh Omarim. Located on a hill 600 metres above sea level, it is organised as a community settlement and falls under the jurisdiction of Har Hevron Regional Council. In {{Israel populations|Year}} it had a population of {{Israel populations|Shim'a}}.

The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/1682640.stm |title=The Geneva Convention |publisher=BBC News |date=10 December 2009 |accessdate=27 November 2010 }}
