Khirbet Samara (Hebrew: ח'ירבת סמארה) is an archeological site located in the West Bank. It lies near the Israeli settlement of Einav, 9 km east of Taibe. The site was first surveyed by the Palestine Exploration Fund in the late 19th century, and was then mistakenly identified as a church. In excavations conducted by Israeli archeologist Yitzhak Magen in 1991–1992, the structure on the eastern edge of the site was identified as a Samaritan synagogue. In addition, a mikveh, a cistern, an arched gate, burial caves and public structures were found at the site.
