Afik (Hebrew: אֲפִיק) is an Israeli settlement organized as a kibbutz in the Golan Heights. It was established in 1972 close to the abandoned Syrian village of Fiq following Israel's capture and occupation of the Golan Heights in the 1973 Yom Kippur War. In 2022, it had a population of 387..
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the Golan Heights illegal under international law, while the Israeli government disputes this.
