Hinanit (Hebrew: חיננית, lit. Daisy) is a communal Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Located in northern Samaria, it falls under the jurisdiction of Shomron Regional Council.
Hinanit is located just across the Green Line border with Israel in the northern West Bank's Jenin Governorate, and abuts the Palestinian village of 'Anin, from which it is separated by Israel's West Bank barrier. It lies approximately 9 miles (15 km) west of Jenin city.
In 2006 it had a population of 779.
The village was established in 1981 by Mountain Jews from the Caucasus. Originally a moshav and a member of the Moshavim Movement, it was later converted to a communal settlement
