Kiryat Ekron or Qiryath Eqron (Hebrew: קִרְיַת עֶקְרוֹן) is a town located on the coastal plain in the Central District of Israel.

Located immediately south of the city of Rehovot on Highway 411 next to the Bilu Junction, in 2022 it had a population of 10,993.

In 1963, the name of the town was changed to Kiryat Ekron, and it became an independent local municipality.

[4] Attempts to unite Kiryat Ekron with the much larger municipality of Rehovot in 2003 failed after popular protest from residents of the town, as did similar attempts to unite Kiryat Ekron's municipality with that of the town of Mazkeret Batya due to opposition from the smaller town's residents the same year (Mazkeret Batya was originally called Ekron; its name was changed in 1887).

A large outlet mall, "Bilu Centre," is located in Kiryat Ekron.
