King David's Tomb is a site considered by some to be the burial place of biblical king David of Israel, according to a Christian, Jewish, and Muslim tradition beginning in the 9th or 12th century CE, some two millennia after the traditional time of David. The majority of historians and archaeologists do not consider the site to be the actual resting place of King David.

It is located on Mount Zion in Jerusalem, near the early 20th century Abbey of the Dormition. The tomb is thought to be situated in a ground floor corner of the remains of the former Hagia Zion, considered a Byzantine church or late Roman-era synagogue. The building is now administered by the Diaspora Yeshiva, a Jewish seminary group.‎
