Ramat Yohanan ( _he. רמת יוחנן, lit. "Yohanan Heights") is a kibbutz in northern Israel. Located near Kiryat Ata, it falls under the jurisdiction of Zevulun Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 751.

The village was founded in 1932 on land bought by Yehoshua Hankin from the Lebanese in 1925. The founders were a mix of native Jews and immigrants from the United States. It was named after Jan Smuts, a prominent supporter of Zionism.

It was the location of the Battle of Ramat Yohanan during the 1947–1948 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine. The Druze regiment of the Arab Liberation Army were defeated by the kibbutzniks and Haganah soldiers, and saw the villages from which they launched their attacks razed in retaliation. Having run out of ammunition, the Druze withdrew to their base in Shefa-'Amr with 100 casualties. As a result of their defeat, many Druze swapped sides in the conflict, and began co-operating with the Haganah.
