Gitit (Hebrew: גִּתִּית) is a moshav and Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Located in the Jordan Valley with an area of 1,500 dunams (1.5 km2; 0.58 sq mi), it falls under the jurisdiction of Bik'at HaYarden Regional Council. In 2015 it had a population of 376.
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.
The village was established in 1972 as a Nahal settlement. It is named for a musical instrument mentioned in the Bible with a similar shape as the area: f.e. Psalm 8:1.
In 1975 it became a civilian community affiliated with Mishkei Herut Beitar. In 1978 it became a moshav shitufi, but later reverted to moshav ovdim status.
