Gazit ( _he. גזית) is a kibbutz in northern Israel. Located in the Galilee, it falls under the jurisdiction of Jezreel Valley Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 562.

The community was formed in 1947 by immigrants from Argentina, Poland, Romania and Turkey. They established Gazit in 1948, with it becoming a permanent settlement in 1950. Initially a communist kibbutz, its members decided to swear allegience to the state in 1952, expelling 22 Maki members.
