Ma'ale Shomron (Hebrew: מַעֲלֵה שׁוֹמְרוֹן‎), is an Israeli settlement in the northern West Bank. Located about 300 metres above sea level in the Samarian hills, it is organised as a community settlement and falls under the jurisdiction of Shomron Regional Council. In 2015 it had a population of 1,015.

The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.

The settlement was established in February 1980 by a mixed group of Orthodox and non-religious Israelis from the Beitar and Herut movements. It is closely bordered by Karnei Shomron.
