Gat Rimon (Hebrew: גת רימון‎, lit. Pomegranate press) is a moshav in central Israel. Located in the Ono Valley in the Sharon plain between Ganei Tikva and Petah Tikva, it falls under the jurisdiction of Drom HaSharon Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 204.

The moshav was founded in 1926 by workers from Petah Tikva who were children of middle class immigrants of the Fourth Aliyah. It was initially called Hithaya (Hebrew: התחייה‎, lit. Revival), but later assumed the Biblical name of Gath Rimmon, a Levite town in the land of the Tribe of Dan which is mentioned in Joshua 19:45.
