Barkan (Hebrew: בַּרְקָן) is an Israeli settlement in the northern West Bank, about 8 km west of the Palestinian city of Salfit, under the administrative local government of the Shomron Regional Council. In 2022 its population was 2,040.

The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[2]
