Almog (Hebrew: אלמוג) is a kibbutz and Israeli settlement near Jericho on the northwestern shores of the Dead Sea in the Jordan Rift Valley in Israel. It lies within the municipal jurisdiction of the Megilot Regional Council.
The kibbutz was founded in 1979 by people from other kibbutzim. It is named after Yehuda Kopolevitz Almog, one of the first settlers in the area, who founded the potassium mining operation in the south of Israel. Almog was also one of the founders of the nearby prewar kibbutz Beit Ha'arava.
