Jattir was a town in ancient Israel, located in the mountainous land of Judah (Joshua 15:48). It was appointed as a Levitical city for priests to live in (Joshua 21:14). King David gave some of the spoils from his battle with the Amalekites, who took David's two wives from Ziklag (1 Samuel 30:27).

Jattir has been identified with Khirbet Attir (Horvat Yattir), southwest of Hebron.
