'''Gal'ed''' () is a kibbutz in northern Israel. Located in the Menashe Heights with an area of 14,500 dunams, it falls under the jurisdiction of Megiddo Regional Council. In it had a population of .
==History== Kibbutz Gal'ed was established in 1945 by a gar'in of German HaBonim members which had formed in 1938. Because the land on which the kibbutz lies was bought with money donated by Isaac (Yitzhak) Ochberg (1879–1938), a South African philanthropist, Keren HaYesod wanted the kibbutz named "Even Yitzhak" (). However, eventually the kibbutz members had their way and the kibbutz was named Gal'ed () to commemorate friends and family of the founders who had died in the Holocaust. The land had traditionally belonged to the Palestinian village of Al-Butaymat, which was depopulated in 1948.
