Ganei Hadar (Hebrew: גַּנֵּי הָדָר, lit. Hadar Gardens) is a communal settlement in central Israel. Located in the Shephelah near Rehovot, it falls under the jurisdiction of Gezer Regional Council. In 2015 it had a population of 278.
The village was founded in 1930 by immigrants from the United States, who founded the "Gan Hadar - Co-operation" union. The land had been bought by union members from the Arab village of al-Na'ani during the late 1920s, and was the first Jewish settlement in the Gezer region.
