Almon (Hebrew: עַלְמוֹן), also known as Anatot (Hebrew: עֲנָתוֹת), is an Israeli settlement in the West Bank, organized as a community settlement. Built over land confiscated from the nearby Palestinian town of 'Anata,[2] it falls under the jurisdiction of the Mateh Binyamin Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 1,467.

The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[3]
