Eliakim (Hebrew: אֶלְיָקִים‎) is a moshav in northern Israel. Located in the Menashe Heights, it falls under the jurisdiction of Megiddo Regional Council. In 2015 it had a population of 857.

The village was established in 1949 as a moshav by Jewish refugees from Yemen on the lands of the depopulated Arab village of Umm az-Zinat, and was named after Jehoiakim (who was originally named Eliakim), a King of Judah (2 Kings 23:34). In 1970 it was converted to a communal settlement, but returned to being a moshav in 2008.
