Niran (Template:Lang-he-n) is a kibbutz and Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Located in the Jordan Valley near Jericho, it falls under the jurisdiction of Bik'at HaYarden Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 80, 30 of whom were new arrivals.

Niran was established in 1971 as a Nahal settlement and was converted to a civilian kibbutz in 1977. It is named after the biblical city of Naaran.

The primary source of livelihood for the residents is education, including workshops for visitors devoted to Zionism, Judaism and Israeli society. A smaller number of residents work in date groves and at the local plastics factory, P.V.Ran, which manufactures a variety of packagings and wrappings for food products in compliance with international standards.

The ruins of a 6th-century synagogue were discovered a short distance from the kibbutz. The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.
