Ortal (Hebrew: אוֹרְטַל) is an Israeli settlement organized as a kibbutz in the northern Golan Heights.

Located 915 meters above sea level and 20 kilometres (12 mi) northeast of Katzrin,[2] it falls under the jurisdiction of Golan Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 376.[1] The international community considers Israeli settlements in the Golan Heights illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[3]
