Sha'arei Tikva (Hebrew: שַׁעֲרֵי תִּקְוָה, lit. 'Gates of Hope') is an Israeli settlement in the West Bank at an elevation of 200 metres. Located northeast of Rosh HaAyin and one kilometre east of the Green Line near Elkana, it is organised as a community settlement and falls under the jurisdiction of Shomron Regional Council. In 2021 it had a population of 6,122.[1]

The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[2]
