Ibtin (Arabic: إبطن; Hebrew: אִבְּטִין) is a Bedouin village in northern Israel. Located in the Lower Galilee around half a kilometre from Kfar Hasidim, it falls under the jurisdiction of Zevulun Regional Council. In 2007 it had a population of 2,300.
The village was established in 1965 as part of a plan to settle the Bedouin in the area in permanent settlements. Residents of the village are members of the Amria tribe.
The sacred tree of U'm Ayash is located in the village, which according the legend, has stones roll under it every Friday.[1]
