Rima Zahia is a sinuous rille on the Moon at 25°01′N 30°28′W / 25.02°N 30.46°W / 25.02; -30.46, in Mare Imbrium. It is approximately 15 km in length.

The name was adopted by the IAU in 1976.[1] Zahia is an Arabic female name, and the rille is not named after a particular person.

Rima Zahia lies to the north of Catena Yuri and east of Courtney crater.
