Ahijah HaShiloni, also known as Ahijah the Shilonite, was a prophet of Shiloh (1 Kings 11:29; 14:2). He was called "the Shilonite" in the days of Rehoboam.

The Bible records two of his remarkable prophecies:

1 Kings 11:31-39, announcing the rending of the ten tribes from Solomon; and
1 Kings 14:6-16, delivered to Jeroboam's wife, foretelling the death of Abijah the king's son, the destruction of Jeroboam's house, and the captivity of Israel "beyond the river."

Jeroboam gave testimony to the high esteem in which he was held as a prophet of God (1 Kings 14:2,3).
