Neve Eitan (Hebrew: נווה איתן) is a kibbutz in the Beit She'an Valley in northern Israel. Located about 1 km east of Beit She'an and 1 km west of Maoz Haim, it is under the jurisdiction of Beit She'an Valley Regional Council. The kibbutz was established in 1938 by Polish immigrants, members of the "Akiva" movement, as part of the Tower and stockade campaign. Native Israelis joined the settlement in 1952. The name "Neve Eitan" is based on the original Hebrew text of a verse in Jeremiah (Jeremiah, 49:19). In Neve Eitan, there is a high school called "Ge'on HaYarden" (lit. Pride of the Jordan). More than 500 students study there.
