Hibat Tzion ( _he. חיבת ציון, lit. "Fond of Zion") is a moshav in central Israel. Located in the coastal plain near Hadera and covering 4,500 dunams, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hefer Valley Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 492.

The moshav was founded in 1933 by the "Agricultural Estate of the Russian Zionist Centre" organisation. It was named after the Hovevei Zion organisation (also known as Hibbat Zion in Hebrew). The founders were later joined by immigrants from Central Europe.

It had the first organic Annona grove in Israel, and it remains the country's largest. It also had the country's first crematorium, which was operated by Alei Shalekhet. It was burned down by ultra-orthodox protestors in August 2007.
