Kidron (Hebrew: קִדְרוֹן) is a moshav in central Israel. Located in the Shephelah around 2 km east of Gedera near the Tel Nof Airbase, it falls under the jurisdiction of Brenner Regional Council. In 2016 it had a population of 1,577.
The moshav was established in 1949 by a group of Jewish immigrants from Yugoslavia. It was named for the Kidron Valley. They were later joined by immigrants from Romania.
It was established on the land of the depopulated Palestinian village of Qatra, which became depopulated in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.
