Hit (حيط; also transliterated Heit or Hayt) is a village in southern Syria, administratively part of the Daraa Governorate.

[3] It is near the approaches to the Yarmuk river,[2] which represents the border between Syria and Jordan.

In 1596 Hit appeared in the Ottoman tax registers as part of the nahiya (subdistrict) of Jawlan Sharqi in the Qada of Hauran.

[4] In 1886, Gottlieb Schumacher noted that Hit was a medium-sized village of 150 Muslims living in thirty huts, part of which were constructed of stone and others mud, with the largest and best-built being that of its sheikh (headman).

The modern village had been established in the preceding few years by families from the nearby village of Saham al-Jawlan who lost their properties to their creditors and made use of Hit's scattered ancient ruins to build their new settlement.
