Jordan Valley Regional Council) is a regional council comprising much of the western shore of the Sea of Galilee, the southern parts of its eastern shore, and the northern part of the Jordan Valley all the way to Beit She'an in the south.

The two Hebrew words emek and bik'a are practically synonymous, both "Emek HaYarden" and "Bik'at HaYarden" meaning "Jordan Valley"; the distinction is only administrative and political.

Most of the settlements are of the kibbutz type and are located on Highway 90, a north–south road which traverses the council's territory parallel to the Jordan River and along the western shore of the Sea of Galilee.

The offices of the council are located between Degania Alef and the Tzemah Industrial Zone.
