Tzukim () is a community settlement in southern Israel. Located in the Arava valley, 8 km south of Tzofar, it falls under jurisdiction of the Central Arava Regional Council. In it had a population of .
==History== Tzukim was founded in 2001 on land vacated by the Bildad army camp, which was founded in 1983 and named after Bildad, one of the "friends" of Biblical Job. In the Negev there are also kibbutzim with the names of the two other "friends": nearby Tzofar and Elifaz in the southern Arava. Bildad also served as a transit point for new settlement in the Arava valley.
