Eitanim (Hebrew: אֵיתָנִים‎‎) is a psychiatric hospital in central Israel. Located near Jerusalem, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Yehuda Regional Council. In 2006 it had 192 patients.

In 1942 an agricultural school was established in the area (then known as Dayr 'Amr) for Arab orphans of the 1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine. In 1950 a hospital for people with tuberculosis was founded on the site, becoming a general hospital in 1952.
