Giv'on HaHadashah (Hebrew: גִּבְעוֹן הַחֲדָשָׁה, lit. New Gibeon) is an Israel settlement in the West Bank, built over land expropriated from the neighboring Palestinian villages of Biddu,[2] Beit Ijza,[3] and Al Jib.[4] It falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Binyamin Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 996.

The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[5]
