Kokhav HaShahar (Hebrew: כוכב השחר‎, also spelt Kochav Shachar and Kochav HaShachar, lit. Morning Star) is an Israeli settlement in the Samaria region of the West Bank. It is located on a mountain ridge overlooking the Jordan Valley, and is accessible via the Allon Road. Kokhav HaShahar falls under the municipal jurisdiction of the Matte Binyamin Regional Council.

The settlement was founded by some 9 young couples in 1979 on the site of an Israeli military outpost. As of 2008, it was home to roughly three hundred families.
