Assaf Inbari (Hebrew: אסף ענברי; born March 9, 1968) is an Israeli novelist and journalist.

Assaf Inbari was born and raised on Kibbutz Afikim,[1] the oldest of three children, and lived there until the age of 20.

In 2008 he completed his Ph.D. on the poetry of Hayim Nahman Bialik at Bar-Ilan University.

It relates the history of Afikim over three generations, from its founding in the Jordan Valley in the early 1930s by members of the socialist–Zionist youth movement Hashomer Hatzair, through its growth and development, to its present form, beset by privatization and individualism.

[5] In 2020 Inbari was awarded the Agnon Prize for the Art of Prose.
