Herut (Hebrew: חֵרוּת, lit. Freedom) is a moshav in central Israel. Located in the Sharon plain near Tel Mond, it falls under the jurisdiction of Lev HaSharon Regional Council. In 2007 it had a population of 1,200.
The village was founded in 1930 by an organisation named Herut which had formed in 1927 and was composed of immigrants from the Third and Fourth Aliyah. It was initially called Herut Yehuda (lit. Freedom of Iudaea), a name derived from the fact that it was 1,800 years since the Bar Kokhba revolt, the second major rebellion by the Jews of Iudaea Province. In the following years the "Yehuda" part was dropped, leaving the name as just "Herut".
