Ahuzat Barak (Hebrew: אֲחֻזַּת בָּרָק, lit. Barak Estate) is a communal settlement in northern Israel. Located to the east of Afula, it falls under the jurisdiction of Jezreel Valley Regional Council. In 2007 it had a population of 1,400.
The village was established in 1998 on private land, and was named after the biblical figure of Barak (Judges 4:6), who defeated the army of Jabin, king of Hazor, in the Jezreel Valley. It has absorbed several immigrants from South America.
