Gan Raveh Regional Council (Hebrew: מועצה אזורית גן רווה, Mo'atza Ezorit Gan Raveh) is a regional council in the Central Coastal Plain region of the Central District of Israel. The council's area of jurisdiction extends to nine settlements: a kibbutz, six moshavim, a community settlement and a youth village. In 2017 the total population was 6,026. The council serves Ayanot, Beit Hanan, Beit Oved, Ge'alya, Gan Sorek, Irus, Kfar HaNagid, Neta'im, and Palmachim. 'Gan Raveh' means well-watered garden and these are words in a biblical verse of Isaiah,[1] which are reproduced on the signs of some of the council's villages, including Ayanot.

The head of the local council is Mira Ben Ari. The council's headquarters are located in the youth village of Ayanot.
