Natur (Hebrew: נָטוּר) is an Israeli settlement, kibbutz, in the southern Golan Heights, in the municipal territory of the Golan Regional Council. The international community considers Israeli settlements in the Golan Heights illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[1]

Natur converted from a kibbutz to a moshav in 2007. Membership at that time was nearly 200 people.[2]
