Jerusalem of Gold, or as it is known in Hebrew: Yerushalayim Shel Zahav' "ירושלים של זהב", is a popular Israeli song written and sung by Naomi Shemer in 1967.

The song was written just before the Israel Defense Forces conquered and captured the eastern part of Jerusalem in the Six-Day War from Jordan, which had annexed it during the Israeli War of Independence of 1948.

The song was popularly sung by Shuli Natan and was once considered by the Knesset as a possible replacement to Hatikva, Israel's national anthem.
