Shim'a (Hebrew: שִׁמְעָה), also Yonadav (Hebrew: 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 2023 it had a population of 1,015.

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