Be'erotayim (Hebrew: בְּאֵרוֹתַיִם or בארותיים) is a moshav in central Israel. Located in the Sharon plain and covering 3,500 dunams, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hefer Valley Regional Council. In 2015 it had a population of 1,116.
The name (meaning "Two Wells") is derived from the pre-1948 Arabic name "Bir Burin".
The moshav was founded in 1949 by immigrants from Czechoslovakia and Hungary. In 1956 it absorbed more immigrants from North Africa.
