Havat Yair (Template:Lang-he, lit. Yair Farm) is an Israeli outpost in the West Bank. Located near Nofim and Yakir, it falls under the jurisdiction of Shomron Regional Council. It is home to around 15 families.
It was first established in 1999. Although it was later evacuated, it was re-established in February 2001.
Havat Yair, like all Israeli outposts, is illegal under Israeli law. The international community views Israeli outposts as Israeli settlements and considers them also illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.
