Ginot Aryeh ( _he. גינות אריה, lit. "Aryeh Plantations") was an Israeli settlement outpost in the West Bank. Located near Ofra, it fell under the jurisdiction of Mateh Binyamin Regional Council.

The settlement was established in 2001, and was named after Aryeh Hershkovits, a settler killed by Palestinians in 2001.
