Tomer (Hebrew: תֹּמֶר‎, lit. Palm Tree) is a moshav and Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Located in the Jordan Valley next to the Palestinian village of Fasayil, it falls under the jurisdiction of Bik'at HaYarden Regional Council. In 2015 it had a population of 247.

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 1976, and was named after the trees common in the area. In March 1978 it moved to its present location near Highway 90.
