Zizinia (Egyptian Arabic: زيزينيا) is a neighborhood in Alexandria, Egypt. It is home to the Royal Jewelry Museum and residence of the Governor of Alexandria. It is regarded as an affluent neighborhood where many lawyers, doctors, and business executives live.

The name of the neighborhood goes back to the Greek merchant Étienne Zizinia (Στέφανος Ζηζίνια, 1784-1868), consul-general of Belgium in Egypt. He sold part of the land he owned in Alexandria to the government for the extension of the tram line.
