Beit Jann ( _he. בֵּיתּ גַ'ן; _ar. بيت جن) is an Israeli Druze local council on top of Mt. Meron, in Northern Israel. The town is one of the highest inhabited locations in Israel (940 meters above sea level), and has a population of approximately 10,000 mostly Druze inhabitants.

In July 2004 two young men from Beit Jann were seriously injured in a hunting accident, by 2 other residents of Beit Jann, who were off-duty soldiers hunting illegally with their army-issued weapons. [http://www.all-creatures.org/cash/taah-sh-20040714.html]

Beit Jann was one of the settlements hit by Katyusha rockets fired by Hezbollah on July 14, 2006 during the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict.
