For the Israeli settlement, see Na'aran (Israeli settlement).
Naaran (also Na'aran) (Hebrew: נערן) was an ancient Jewish village dating to the 5th and 6th century CE, located in the modern-day West Bank. Remains of the village have been excavated north-west of Jericho. Naaran is archeologically notable for a mosaic floor of a synagogue, featuring a large zodiac design, which was discovered at the site.
Naaran is identified with Ein ad-Duk, now within the municipal boundaries of Jericho, 5km north-west of the city center.
