Mle'a or Meleah (Hebrew: מְלֵאָה) is a moshav in the Ta'anakh region in northern Israel. It belongs to the Gilboa Regional Council.
It was founded in 1956 by immigrants to Israel from Morocco in the program to settle the Ta'anakh region. By the end of 1957, most of the original settlers moved out, but immigrants from Poland moved in to replace them. As of 2007 about 60 families live in the moshav. Most of them make a living from agriculture and raising livestock.
The name Mle'a relates to agriculture: in Hebrew, it is a synonym for seed.
