Hamat Gader (Hebrew: חַמַּת גָּדֵר; Aramaic: חמתא דגדר‎, hammata degader; Ancient Greek: Ἑμμαθά, Emmatha or ῎Αμαθα, Amatha;[1] Arabic: الحمة السورية‎ al-hamma al-souriya, meaning "the Syrian hamma") is a hot springs site in the Yarmouk River valley, used since the classical antiquity. It is located in an area under Israeli control, in what was a demilitarized zone between Israel and Syria from 1949 to 1967.[2] The site is next to the Jordanian border, and about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) from the tripoint of Israel, Jordan and Syria.

It is set on several mineral springs with temperatures up to 50 °C.
