Elyashiv (Hebrew: אֶלְיָשִׁיב, lit. God will bring back) is a moshav in central Israel. It is named after a high priest in the time of Nehemiah (Nehemiah 3:1). Located in the Sharon plain, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hefer Valley Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 487.
The moshav was established on 13 November 1933 by immigrants from Yemen[1], and was the first settlement to be established by Yemenite Jews.
