Mevo Horon (Hebrew: מבוא חורון, lit. 'Horon Gateway') is an Israeli settlement and religious moshav shitufi in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Located near Latrun and the city of Modi'in, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Binyamin Regional Council. In 2023 it had a population of 2,590.
The settlement was established directly on the former Palestinian villages of Yalo, Imwas and Bayt Nuba, ethnically cleansed and destroyed by the Israel Defense Forces during the Six-Day War. The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.
