Ein Gedi (Hebrew: עין גדי, lit. 'Spring of the Kid') is a kibbutz on the western shore of the Dead Sea in Israel. Located on the edge of the Judaean Desert at the site of historic Ein Gedi, it falls under the jurisdiction of Tamar Regional Council. In 2023 it had a population of 716.
The Ein Gedi Nature Reserve is located just to the north, featuring an oasis, waterfalls, and hiking trails. It also contains the remains of a Ghassulian temple dating to the 4th millennium BCE. Adjacent to the reserve is the Ein Gedi Antiquities area, home to the ruins of the ancient Jewish village of Ein Gedi, including a Roman-era synagogue.
