Al-Zanghariyya was a Palestinian Arab village in the Safad Subdistrict. It was depopulated during the 1947–1948 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine on May 4, 1948 under Operation Matate. It was located 8.5 km southeast of Safad, near Wadi al-Ghara. The village was later burned and destroyed on the 17th of June 1948.
In 1945, the village had a total population of 840. The village was named after the 'Arab al-Zanghariyya Bedouin tribe, who first used the village as a camping site. Today the moshav settlement of Elifelet and the private farm of Kare Deshe lie on the former village grounds.
