Na'omi (Hebrew: נָעֳמִי) is a moshav shitufi and Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Located in the Jordan Valley three kilometres north of Hisham's Palace, it falls under the jurisdiction of Bik'at HaYarden Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 129.
The village was established in 1982, and was initially named Na'ama due to its proximity to the Arab village of an-Nuway'imah, before being renamed after the biblical figure of Naomi.
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[1]
