Sde Eliezer (Hebrew: שְׂדֵה אֱלִיעֶזֶר, lit. Eliezer's Field) is a moshav in northern Israel. Located in the Hula Valley, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mevo'ot HaHermon Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 891.

History

Sde Eliezer was founded in 1950 by residents of Yesod HaMa'ala and Kiryat Shmona. Jewish immigrants from Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Poland and Romania also settled there. The moshav was named for Robert (Eliezer) Rothschild, grandson of Edmond de Rothschild, founder of the Palestine Jewish Colonization Association (PICA).

According to some sources the village was built on land which had been bought by PICA, while according to Walid Khalidi, it was established on land that had belonged to the depopulated Palestinian village of al-Husayniyya.
