Ein HaEmek (Hebrew: עֵין הָעֵמֶק, lit. Eye of the Valley) is a communal settlement in northern Israel. Located near Yokneam, it falls under the jurisdiction of Megiddo Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 670.
The village was established as a moshav in 1944 by a group of 30 immigrant families from Kurdistan, and was initially named Kedem after the organisation which helped the founders make aliyah.
