Ramat HaSharon (Hebrew: רמת השרון, lit. 'The Sharon Highplain', רָמַת הַשָּׁרוֹן‎) is an affluent city located on Israel's central coastal strip in the south of the Sharon region, bordering the cities of Tel Aviv to the south, Hod-HaSharon to the east, and Herzliya and kibbutz Glil Yam to the north. It is part of the Tel Aviv District, within the Gush Dan metropolitan area. In 2023 Ramat HaSharon had a population of 49,002 and its citizens are nearly entirely Jewish.

Ramat HaSharon, originally Ir Shalom (Hebrew: עִיר שָׁלוֹם, lit. City of Peace), was a moshava established in 1923 by olim from Poland. It was built on 2,000 dunams (2 square kilometres (0.77 sq mi)) of land purchased for 5 Egyptian pounds per dunam.^{[citation needed]} In the 1931 census, the village-esque town had a population of 312.

In 1932, this Jewish community was renamed Kfar Ramat HaSharon (lit. The Highplain Village of the Sharon [region]). By 1950, the population was up to 900. Rapid population growth in the 1960s and 1970s led to construction of many new roadways, schools and parks. Several distinct neighborhoods evolved in the 1970s, including Morasha on the southern edge, one with many military and air force personnel in the eastern edge, and many successful professionals moved into the developing city. Ramat HaSharon became a highly desirable place to live in the 1980s as a very safe place, containing many gardens and wide boulevards, and attracting many upper middle class suburban families.

While qualifying for city status by number of residents (with more than 30 thousand residents) from the 1980s, Ramat HaSharon's mayors preferred to maintain the local council designation and acted to maintain the character of the settlement by limiting development. Although, Ramat HaSharon was later granted city status in 2002.

In August 2021, Israeli archaeologists led by Yoav Arbel excavated a Byzantine and Early Islamic settlement at Khirbat el-‘Ora, prior to the establishment of a new neighborhood. The excavation revealed a wine press paved with a mosaic along with a coin minted by Emperor Heraclius. According to coin expert Robert Kool, one side of the gold depicted the emperor and his two sons, while the other side depicted the hill of Golgotha in Jerusalem. A Greek or Aramaic inscription was engraved on the surface of the coins, probably with the name of the coin owner. According to Yoel Arbel, stone mortars and millstones were used to grind barley and wheat and very likely also to crush herbs and healing plants.

The main portion of the city is located north of Highway 5, east of Highway 20 and Glil Yam, to the west of the Israel Military Industries factory and Highway 4, and to the south of Herzliya. The city's administrative boundaries extend in an L-shaped fashion to the south of highway 5 and bordering with Tel Aviv reaching until Highway 2 in the west.

The Neve-Gan neighborhood is disconnected from the rest of the city and is located to the south of the main city, and is adjacent to Kiryat Shaul Cemetery Tel Aviv's Tel Baruch. The Israel Tennis Centers is also south of route 5. The Cinema City Glilot commercial complex is similarly disconnected from the city and is located on the intersection of highway 5 and 2.

The majority of the population lives around the two main streets: "Sokolov" and "Usishkin". in the west. The east in the "Morasha" neighborhood, has no major commercial area, important locations or even a high school. Morasha has long been neglected because of political reasons, though the population hopes they will get more support after a major increase of population, wealth and investments in later years
