Kiryat Ye'arim Youth Village (Lang-he|כפר הנוער קריית יערים, "Kfar HaNoar Kiryat Ye'arim") is a youth village in central Israel. Located near Kiryat Ye'arim to the north of Abu Ghosh, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Yehuda Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 242.

The village was established in 1952 with a donation from Swiss Jews. Yisrael Katz, later a government minister, ran the village between 1954 and 1959.
