Maskiot (Template:Lang-he, lit. Pictures) is an Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Located in the northern Jordan Vally, it falls under the jurisdiction of Bik'at HaYarden Regional Council.
It was founded as a Nahal settlement, and in July 2008 it was reportedly close to being expanded. According to Israeli Radio, the expansion was part of a deal between settlers in Israeli Outposts established without the permission of the Israeli Government and the Israeli Defence Ministry.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said he was "deeply concerned" over the new Maskiot plan, whereas the British government said it was "dismayed". A spokesman for US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said that the settlement expansion was "not helpful", and "inconsistent with Israel's commitment to the roadmap".
