Even Menachem ( _he. אֶבֶן מְנַחֵם) is a moshav in northern Israel. Located in the Western Galilee, about six kilometres northwest of Ma'alot-Tarshiha, it falls under the jurisdiction of Ma'ale Yosef Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 303.

The moshav was founded on 13 September 1960 by immigrants from North Africa on the land that had previously belonged to the abandoned Arab village of Iqrit. It was named after Arthur Menachem Hantke, a prominent Zionist leader in pre-war Germany.

The moshav came under Hezbollah rocket fire several times over its history due to its proximity to the Israel-Lebanon border; most recently it was hit during Hezbollah's diversionary salvo at the opening of the 2006 Lebanon War, as well as during the later rocket and mortar attacks.
