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 52.
The village was established in 1971 as a Nahal settlement, and was converted to a civilian kibbutz in 1977. It was named after the biblical city of Naaran.
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.
