New Zion is an unincorporated community in Clarendon County, South Carolina, United States.

The majority of its first-enrolled students originated from Turbeville, South Carolina's East Clarendon High School.

It had operated until the end of the 1985-1986 school year, when it was shut down due to both rising maintenance costs and low enrollment numbers.

There are a total of six Christian Protestant churches within the community of New Zion: On the afternoon of March 29, 2019, a pair of turkey hunters were scouting a cornfield when they discovered the body of 21-year-old Samantha Josephson, a student at the University of South Carolina that was last seen earlier that morning outside of a bar in downtown Columbia, South Carolina stepping into a black car that she thought was the Uber ride that she had ordered.

The incident had not only attracted national attention and led to discussion about the dangers of ridesharing and the importance of ensuring that a rideshare car is being driven by a registered driver prior to entering, but it had led to the creation of Sami's Law in her native New Jersey.
