Alei Zahav (Hebrew: עֲלֵי זָהָב, lit. Golden Leaves) is a communal village and an Israeli settlement located on the western edge of the northern West Bank, about 20 km east of Tel Aviv, and overlooking Israel's main Ben Gurion International Airport. The town, under the administrative municipal government of the Shomron Regional Council, is adjacent to Peduel and Beit Aryeh.
Founded in 1983 on state lands by non-Orthodox Jewish Israelis from the Beitar and Herut movements, the settlement is now home to about 120 families. The town is named after Aliza Begin (wife of former Prime Minister Menachem Begin). The original name of the town had been Yoezer.
