Gan Sorek (Hebrew: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />גַּן שׂוֹרֵק, lit. Sorek Garden) is a moshav in central Israel. Located in the coastal plain around four kilometres south-west of Rishon LeZion and covering 700 dunams, it falls under the jurisdiction of Gan Raveh Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 326.
The moshav was founded on the land of the depopulated Palestinian village of Nabi Rubin[1] in 1950 by immigrants from Poland and Romania and it is named after the nearby Nahal Sorek.[2]
