Numeira is an archaeological site near the Dead Sea. The site has substantial Early Bronze Age remains.

Numeira is also the name given to the river and valley (wadi) adjacent to the archaeological site. The river is significantly eroding the archaeological site.

Numeira has been proposed as a candidate for the Biblical city of Gomorrah.
