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 kibbutz organizes workshops on Zionism, Judaism and Israeli society. Some members of the kibbutz work in the date groves or at the local plastics factory, P.V.Ran, which manufactures packaging 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.
