Brukhin (Hebrew: ברוכין, also Bruchin) is an Israeli settlement located in the West Bank, about 1 km from the Palestinian city of Bruqin, whose lands were confiscated in order to construct Brukhin.[2]

Over 101 Orthodox Jewish families are living in Brukhin.[3] A further 100 families are due to move in as the settlement expands (2015).[4] In 2022 its population was 2,412.

The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[5]
