Deir Ammar Camp (Arabic: مخيّم دير عمّار) is a Palestinian refugee camp located in the Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate, approximately 30 kilometers (19 mi) northwest of Ramallah in the northern West Bank. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS), the camp had a population of 1,884 inhabitants in 2017.[1]

Established in 1949, the camp was set up on land previously owned by non-refugee residents of the village of Deir Ammar. In return, UNRWA's facilities in the camp also provide services to the non-refugee villagers. The camp falls under joint Israeli-Palestinian control in "Area B".[2] The refugee camp has two schools: the boys' school which has 680 pupils, and the girls' school which has 735 pupils.[2]
