Be'erot Yitzhak ( _he. בְּאֵרוֹת יִצְחָק, "lit." Yitzhak Wells) is a religious kibbutz in central Israel. Located near Yehud, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hevel Modi'in Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 380.

The kibbutz was originally established near Gaza (an area which is today Alumim) in 1943 by a group of immigrants from Czechoslovakia and Germany who were members of "Brit Halutzim Dati'im" ("Religious Pioneers Alliance"), and was named after Rabbi Yitzhak Nisanboim.

During the 1948 Arab-Israeli War the kibbutz was seriously damaged by the Egyptian Army. It was abandoned and its homes destroyed. In 1949 there was a trial of re-establishing the kibbutz on the remains of Wilhema. In 1952 the residents moved to the current site.
