Kedumim (Hebrew: קְדוּמִים‎‎), also spelled Qedumim, is an Israeli settlement and a town located in the Samarian hills of the West Bank that was founded during Hanukkah 1975 and now enjoys the municipal status of local council. Founded in 1975 by members of the Gush Emunim settlement movement, its current population is now about 3,500 people. Daniella Weiss was the mayor of Kedumim. The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.

In late 1974, an group affiliated with Gush Emunim named Garin Elon Moreh, led by Rabbi Menachem Felix and Benjamin (Beni) Katzover, attempted to establish a settlement on the ruins of the Sebastia train station dating from the Ottoman period. An Israeli Cabinet resolution, passed 17-2 with 3 abstentions, found the settlement illegal in 1975. After seven attempts and six removals from the site by the Israel Defense Forces, an agreement was reached according to which the Israeli government allowed 25 families to settle in the Kadum army camp southwest of Nablus/Shechem. The small mobile home site housing 25 families eventually became the municipality of Kedumim. The Sebastia agreement was a turning point that opened up the southern West Bank to Jewish settlement.
