Zechariah ben Jehoiada /zɛkəˈraɪ.ə/ (Hebrew: זְכַרְיָה בן יהוידע, Modern Zekharya ben Yehoyada, Tiberian Zəḵaryā; Arabic: زكريّا بن يهوياداع‎‎ Zakariya bin Yehuyada) is regarded as one of the Prophets of the Tanakh in Judaism, and is possibly alluded to in the New Testament. He is mostly known for being stoned to death and his blood subsequently boiling during the siege of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar II.

Zechariah was the son of Jehoiada, the High Priest in the times of Ahaziah and Jehoash of Judah.

After the death of Jehoiada, Zechariah condemned both King Jehoash and the people for their rebellion against God (2 Chronicles 24:20). This so stirred up their resentment against him that at the king's commandment they stoned him, and he died "in the court of the house of the Lord" (24:21).
