Peri Gan (Hebrew: פרי גן, lit. Fruit Garden), also known as Prigan, is a moshav in southern Israel. Located in the Hevel Shalom area of the north-western Negev desert, it falls under the jurisdiction of Eshkol Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 123.
The moshav was founded in 1981 by former residents of Priel, an Israeli settlement in Sinai which was evacuated as part of the Egyptian-Israeli Peace Treaty. Its main produce is vegetables and flowers.
