Tel Katzir ( _he. תל קציר, lit. "Harvest Hill") is a kibbutz in northern Israel. Located to the south of the Sea of Galilee, it falls under the jurisdiction of Emek HaYarden Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 202.

The village was founded in 1949 by a gar'in of Hebrew Scouts and a kvutza of youths from kibbutz Afikim. Its name was adapted from the Arabic name for the area, Tel al-Qasr, and also symbolises agriculture. Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion refused to accept the name, insisting that it should be called Beit Katzir because it was not a real tell. However, after the kibbutz's secretariat had put a case, noting that Tel Aviv was not a real tell, and that Ramat Gan (lit. "Garden Heights") was really hilly, they eventually won recognition of their preferred name.
