Even Sapir (Template:Lang-he-n, lit. Sapphire) is a moshav on the outskirts of Jerusalem, Israel. It falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Yehuda Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 654.
The moshav was founded in 1950 by immigrants from Kurdistan. It was named after Even Sapir, a book written in 1864 by Yaakov Halevi Sapir, a Jerusalem rabbi and emissary. The book describes his travels to Yemen in the 19th century.
According to another source, the moshav was named for Pinchas Sapir, Israel's finance minister, who encouraged Jewish businessmen from the Diaspora to invest in Palestine and the nascent state.
To the north of the moshav is the Monastery of St. John in the Wilderness and a cave attributed to John the Baptist.
Even Sapir is the end point of the Jerusalem Trail, a 42-kilometer walking route around Jerusalem, which is part of the Israel National Trail.
Even Sapir is a home to "Ben Gurion Institute of Science & Technology", Jerusalem Campus, a housing estate designated for 430 local and international students.
