Neutrino ''zero modes'' in curved spacetime, the analog of static solutions of the neutrino equation in flat space, are defined as the kernel of an elliptic operator obtained from a ''3+1'' decomposition of the neutrino equation relative to a spacelike hypersurface. In this paper, vacuum, globally hyperbolic spacetimes that admit ''zero modes'' are characterized.
