Brukhin (Hebrew: ברוכין, also Bruchin) is an Israeli settlement located in the West Bank, about 1 km from the Palestinian city of Bruqin, whose lands were confiscated in order to construct Brukhin.
Over 101 Orthodox Jewish families are living in Brukhin. A further 100 families are due to move in as the settlement expands (2015). In 2022 its population was 2,412.
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, which was reinforced by the decision in the 2024 ICJ case on Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories. However, the Israeli government disputes this.
