Tzuriel (Hebrew: צוּרִיאֵל) is an moshav in northern Israel. Located in the Galilee, it falls under the jurisdiction of Ma'ale Yosef Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 304.
The moshav was established in 1950 on the lands of the abandoned Arab village of Suhmata. The founders were Yemenite Jews from the town of Beit 'Adaqah, led by spiritual leader Rabbi Shalom Nehorai HaLevi. It was named for the biblical figure Zuriel, son of Abihail (Num 3:35).
After a number of years the founders left and a group of Moroccan immigrants moved in.
