Ziwa Galilaya

Ziwa Galilaya, pia Kinneret, Ziwa la Genesareti, au Ziwa la Tiberia (kwa Kiebrania יָם כִּנֶּרֶת, kwa Kiarabu بحيرة طبريا) ni ziwa lenye umbo la yai kaskazini mwa Israeli. Ni kama kilomita 53 kwa 21 kwa 13. 

Eneo linafikia pengine kilomita mraba 166.7 na kina chake mita 43. 

La pekee ni kwamba liko chini ya usawa wa bahari (mita 209-215), hivyo ni ziwa la maji baridi lililoko chini kuliko yote duniani. Bahari ya Chumvi tu liko chini zaidi.The 1996-discovered subglacial Lake Vostok challenges both records; it is estimated to be  to  below sea level. 

Maji yake yanategemea kwa kiasi kikubwa mto Yordani ambao unaingia kaskazini na kutoka tena kusini mwa ziwa hilo. 

Umaarufu wa ziwa hilo unatokana hasa na Yesu kulitembelea na kulivuka mara nyingi, inavyoelezwa na Injili zote nne.
