Jaljulia (Arabic: جلجولية, Hebrew: גַ'לְג'וּלְיָה), officially also spelled Jaljulye, is an Israeli-Arab town in Israel near Kfar Saba. In 2015 it had a population of 9,361.
In Roman times the village was known as Galgulis, in while during the Crusader period it was referred to as Jorgilia in 1241 C.E.
In 1265 C.E. (663 H) it is known that the Sultan Baybars allocated equal shares of the village to three of his amirs. One of these, amir Badr al-Din Baktash al-Fakri, included his section of the village in a waqf he established.
In 1517, the village was included in the Ottoman Empire with the rest of Palestine, and in the 1596 tax-records it appeared located in the nahiya (subdistrict) of Banu Sa´b under the Liwa of Nablus, with a population of 100 households ("Khana"). It paid taxes on a number of crops, including wheat and barley, as well as "summer crops", "occasional revenues", "goats and bees", and a market toll. There was also a poll tax, jizya, paid by all the inhabitants in Sanjak of Nablus. All the inhabitants were Muslim.
Jaljulia appeared under the name of Gelgeli on Jacotin's map drawn-up during Napoleon's invasion in 1799.
