Dayr Aban (also spelled Deir Aban; Arabic: دير آبان) was a Palestinian Arab village in the Jerusalem Subdistrict, located on the lower slope of a high ridge that formed the western slope of a mountain, to the east of Beit Shemesh. It was formerly bordered by olive trees to the north, east, and west. The valley, Wadi en-Najil, ran north and south on the west-side of the village.

The village is associated with the biblical site of Eben-Ezer.[6][7][8] The prefix "Dayr" hints at a historical monastery.[9] Early Ottoman records document a mixed Christian and Muslim population.[10] However, by the 17th century, historical records highlights a communal conversion to Islam.[9] Nonetheless, traditions associated with the village's Christian past persisted in later periods. Despite this conversion, traditions linked to the village's Christian past persisted in later periods.[11][12][13][14]

Dayr Aban was depopulated during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War on October 19, 1948, during Operation Ha-Har.[15][16] It was located 21 km west of Jerusalem. Today there are over 5000 people originally from Deir Aban living in Jordan.
