Gan Raveh Regional Council (Hebrew: מועצה אזורית גן רווה, Mo'atza Ezorit Gan Raveh) is a regional council in the Central Coastal Plain region of the Central District of Israel. The council's area of jurisdiction extends to nine settlements: a kibbutz, six moshavim, a community settlement and a youth village. In 2017 the total population was 6,026. The council serves Ayanot, Beit Hanan, Beit Oved, Ge'alya, Gan Sorek, Irus, Kfar HaNagid, Neta'im, and Palmachim.
