Neve Zohar (Hebrew: נְוֵה זֹהַר‎‎) is a communal village in the South District of Israel, and the capital of the Tamar Regional Council. It is located on the junction of Highway 31 and Highway 90 (Zohar Junction), on the shores of the Dead Sea and 23 km from Arad by road. It is the closest permanent settlement to the Ein Bokek Dead Sea hotel area.

The name Neve Zohar means Zohar oasis, named for the Zohar Stream, a wadi which flows into the Dead Sea.

Neve Zohar's population consists of about 20 families.
