Hararit (; lit. "mountainous") is a community settlement in the Galilee, Israel. In it had a population of .
==History== thumb|300px|Hararit, view from northeast Hararit is located on the crest of Mount Netofa in the Lower Galilee. It was established in 1980 as part of a government-sponsored project initiated by Labor party member Nissim Zvili. It was part of a plan to bring more Jewish residents to the Galilee area. Initially it was supposed to be settled by a group of Rafael employees, but they rejected it, as it was too far from their workplace, and eventually it was settled by Shahaf ("Seagull"), a group of people dedicated to the principles of Transcendental Meditation (TM). By the year 2000 the TM group was reported to be only half of its original population. In 2008, there were 95 families living in Hararit.
