Givat Yeshayahu (Hebrew: גִּבְעַת יְשַׁעְיָהוּ, lit. Yeshayahu Hill) is a moshav in central Israel. Located in the Valley of Elah around ten kilometres south of Beit Shemesh, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Yehuda Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 445.
The village was established in 1958 by immigrants from Hungary, members of the Jewish youth movement HaNoar HaTzioni and was named after Yeshayahu Press, a prominent researcher.
Givat Yeshayahu is located on the land of the depopulated Palestinian village of 'Ajjur.[1]
