Khirbet Shema' is an archaeological site in Upper Galilee (Israel) excavated in the 1970s. The excavations uncovered a Late Antique synagogue (fourth–fifth century) featuring a bimah, mosaics, and a menorah carved in limestone. The site illustrates the vitality of the rural Jewish communities of Galilee during that period.
