Katif (Hebrew: קָטִיף) was an Israeli settlement in the Gush Katif bloc in the Gaza Strip, about 1 km north of the Palestinian refugee camp of Deir al-Balah Camp.

The name is derived from the archeological site nearby, Tel Katifa.

Katif was founded as a paramilitary Nahal settlement in 1973, and handed over to civilians in 1977.

Some 70 families, or 330 people, including 220 children, lived in the moshav.

After their eviction, most of the families (forty-five) chose to move to a temporary refugee camp adjacent to Amatzia, a previously non-religious moshav of thirty-five families, and start planning their permanent settlement in the area.
