Ma'ale Tzviya (Hebrew: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />מַעֲלֵה צְבִיָּה, lit. Zvia Heights), also Tzviya, is a communal settlement in northern Israel. Located in the Galilee to the south-east of Karmiel, it falls under the jurisdiction of Misgav Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 281.
The village was established in 1979 as a kibbutz, and was named after Zivia Lubetkin, one of the leaders of the Jewish underground in Nazi-occupied Warsaw. The kibbutz was closed in 1986 and the site taken over by members of the "Atid" (lit. Future) gar'in, who founded a communal settlement with the assistance of the Jewish Agency.
The founders defined the settlement as "a Jewish Israeli settlement according to the way of Emin", Emin being an international philosophical and spiritual group also known as The Template Network.
