Harutzim () is a community settlement in central Israel. Located in the Sharon plain near Ra'anana, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hof HaSharon Regional Council. In it had a population of .
==History== The region of Harutzim lies in the southern Sharon plain, which before the 20th century formed part of the Forest of Sharon. This woodland, dominated by Mount Tabor oak, extended from Kfar Yona in the north to Ra'anana in the south. Local Arab inhabitants traditionally used the land for pasture, seasonal cultivation, and firewood. During the 19th century, population growth and expanding agriculture led to widescale deforestation and environmental degradation.
