Alon HaGalil (Hebrew: אַלּוֹן הַגָּלִיל, lit. 'Oak of the Galilee') is a community settlement in northern Israel. Located in the Lower Galilee, it falls under the jurisdiction of Jezreel Valley Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 1,135.[1]

Alon Hagalil was founded in 1980 on land that had belonged to the depopulated Palestinian town of Saffuriya until the establishment of Israel.[2] Founded as a moshav, it converted to a community settlement in 1986, but remains a member of the Moshavim Movement.[citation needed]
