Kfar Adumim (Hebrew: כְּפַר אֲדֻמִּים‎‎. lit. Red Village) is a communal Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Located in the Judean Desert, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Binyamin Regional Council. In 2007 it had a population of 2,500. Khan al-Ahmar, a Bedouin village, is located between Kfar Adumim and Ma'ale Adumim.[1]

The village was established in September 1979.

The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[2]
