Zrahia ( _he. זרחיה) is a religious moshav in southern Israel. Located near Kiryat Malakhi, it falls under the jurisdiction of Shafir Regional Council. In 2006, it had a population of 568.

The village was established in 1950. Most of the founders were immigrants from Iran, though there were also some from North Africa, particularly Morocco. It was named after Seraiah, the father of Ezra and one of the Jews who came to the Land of Israel after their Babylonian captivity.
