Gilgal (Hebrew: גלגל) is an Israeli settlement organized as a kibbutz in the West Bank. Located in the Jordan Valley around 16 kilometres north of Jericho with an area of 1,400 dunams, it falls under the jurisdiction of Bik'at HaYarden Regional Council. In 2023 it had a population of 209.

The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.
