The Matte Binyamin Regional Council (Hebrew: מועצה אזורית מטה בנימין‎) is a regional council in the southern Samarian hills, or rather, the southern part of the northern area of the West Bank. The seat of the council is Psagot. The council is named for the ancient Israelite tribe of Benjamin, whose territory roughly corresponds to that of the council.

In November 2007, Avi Roeh was elected the Head of the Matte Benyamin Regional Council. The previous head, Pinchas Wallerstein stepped down after being in the position for 28 years. [1]

This regional council provides various municipal services for the 45 Israeli settlements within its territory:

The communal settlement of Ofarim was joined with the adjacent local council of Beit Aryeh in 2003 and has ceased to exist as an independent entity. Tel Tzion is a semiautonomous neighbourhood of Kohkav Ya'akov, though it is set to ultimately become a separate locality, while Zayit Ra'anan is a semiautonomous neighbourhood of Talmon.

Settlements to be included on the Israeli side of the West Bank Barrier include those in or near the Modi'in bloc (Hashmonaim, Matityahu, Na'ale, Nili), Mevo Horon in the Latrun area, Beit Horon and Giv'on HaHadashah northwest of Jerusalem, and Almon and Kfar Adumim in the Adummim area east of Jerusalem.
