Vered Yeriho (Hebrew: וֶרֶד יְרִיחוֹ, lit. Rose of Jericho) is a moshav and Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Located near Jericho in the Jordan Valley, it falls under the jurisdiction of Megilot Regional Council. In 2016 it had a population of 252.
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank to be illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.
The community was founded in 1979 as a result of the dissociation of the secular nucleus from the religious nucleus in Mitzpe Yeriho, a nearby settlement to the west of Vered Yeriho. The moshav is located on a hill overlooking the Aqabat Jaber section of Jericho. From the scenic perimeter road of the moshav, one can see Jericho and the northern Dead Sea.
