The Center for Israel Studies in Jordan (CIS), also known as (مركز للدراسات الإسرائيلية) is an independent, non-profit Jordan-based Arab think tank.

The center conducts policy studies and strategic analyses of political, economic and security issues throughout the greater Middle East, with a specific focus on issues concerning Arab–Israeli conflict, Israel's public policy, and the advancement of peace among the Jews and Arabs in the region.

Driven by the importance of disseminating a more complete understanding of Israel, CIS conducts lectures, trainings, consultations, conferences, and workshops.
