Gitit (Hebrew: גִּתִּית) is a moshav and Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Located in the Jordan Valley with an area of 1,500 dunams, it falls under the jurisdiction of Bik'at HaYarden Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 214.
The village was established in 1972 as a Nahal settlement and was named after a musical instrument mentioned in the Bible. It was civilianised and taken over by Mishkei Herut Beitar in 1975. In 1978 it became a moshav shitufi, but later reverted to moshav ovdim status.
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[1]
