Sarid (Template:Lang-he-n) is a kibbutz in northern Israel. Located near Migdal HaEmek, it falls under the jurisdiction of Jezreel Valley Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 590.

The kibbutz was established by immigrants from Czechoslovakia, Poland and Russia in 1926, on the location of the earlier Palestinian village of Khuneifis,[1] which had been sold by the Sursock family of absentee landlords. [2] It took its name from the biblical city of Sarid, situated in the southern part of the tribe of Zebulun (Joshua 19:10).

The poet Natan Yonatan and the politicians Natan Peled and Shlomo Rosen were members of the kibbutz.
