Ro'i ( _he. רוֹעִ"י) is a moshav and Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Located in the Jordan Valley, it falls under the jurisdiction of Bik'at HaYarden Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 128.

The village was established in September 1976 as a Nahal settlement, and was converted to a civilian moshav two years later. Its name is an acronym for Ramat Uzi Yairi, a former commander of the IDF's Paratroopers Brigade who was killed in the Savoy Operation in 1975.Cite encyclopedia|author=Vilnai, Ze'ev|title=Ro'i|encyclopedia=Ariel Encyclopedia|volume=Volume 8|pages=p. 7404|publisher=Am Oved|location=Israel|year=1980 he icon]
