Neria (Hebrew: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />נֵרִיָּה‎), also known as Talmon Tzafon (Hebrew: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />טַלְמוֹן צָפוֹן‎, lit. North Talmon) or Talmon Bet (Hebrew: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />טַלְמוֹן ב'‎, lit. Talmon B) is a national-religious communal Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Located next to Talmon and between Modi'in Illit and Ramallah, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Binyamin Regional Council. It has a population of around 250 families.[1] The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[2]

The village was established in 1991 by a number of families who had met at Mercaz HaRav yeshiva, and was named after Rabbi Moshe-Zvi Neria. The community is led by spiritual leader Rabbi Michael Hershkovitz, a current teacher at Mercaz HaRav.
