Havatzelet HaSharon ( _he. חבצלת השרון, lit. "Lily of the Sharon") is a moshav in central Israel. Located in the Sharon plain near Netanya, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hefer Valley Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 280.

The moshav was founded in 1935 by immigrants from Poland. It is often assumed that it is named after Sea daffodil (known in Hebrew as Havatzelet HaHof). However, it is actually named after Lily Freeman, the wife of Aharon Freeman (for whom Beitan Aharon is named), a leader of the World Zionist Organization in Canada and an advisor to Yehoshua Hankin.
