Shim'a ( _he. שמעה), is a non-religious Jewish village and Israeli settlement in the southern Hebron Hills of the West Bank along the Green Line south of Livneh and Omarim. The village is located on a hill 600 metres above sea level and within the municipal jurisdiction of the Har Hebron Regional Council. The village is named after Shammah, the third son of David.

The village was first established in 1982 as a pioneer Nahal military outpost, and demilitarized when turned over to residential purposes in 1988. As of 2007, about eighty families live in Shim'a.
