Beka'ot (Hebrew: בְּקָעוֹת, lit. Valleys) is a moshav and Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Located in the Jordan Valley with an area of 1,800 dunams, it falls under the jurisdiction of Bik'at HaYarden Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 171. The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.^[1]

The village was established in 1972, and was initially called Buka after the nearby Habukiya Valley.
