Elyashiv () is a moshav in central Israel. Located in the Sharon plain, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hefer Valley Regional Council. In it had a population of .
==History== The moshav was founded on a site once occupied by the Arab village Khirbet esh Sheikh Mohammed ("The ruin of Sheikh Mohammed"). Kh. esh Sheikh Muhammed became settled during the rule of Ibrahim Pasha, either by Egyptians or by hamulas (extended families) from mountain villages. In 1882, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine found that it consisted of a few adobe huts among ruins. Ancient glazed pottery has been found there.
