Natur (Hebrew: נָטוּר) is an Israeli settlement in the southern Golan Heights. The settlement was established as a kibbutz in 1980, after Israel occupied the area in the 1967 Six Day War. In 2022, it had a population of 958 settlers.

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