A mechitza (halachik wall) together with an eruv chatzerot (), commonly known in English as a community eruv, is a symbolic boundary that allows Jews who observe the religious rules concerning Shabbat to carry certain items outside of their homes that would otherwise be forbidden during Shabbat. An eruv accomplishes this by integrating a number of private and public properties into one larger private domain, thereby avoiding restrictions on carrying objects from the private to the public domain on the Sabbath and holidays.
This is a list of places that have eruvin, both historic and modern, that are or were rabbinically recognized.

Israel
While this list includes some eruvin in Israel for which references have been found on the Internet, virtually every community in Israel where observant Jews live has an eruv. In many Israeli cities there are multiple eiruvin. For example, in Jerusalem, the Jerusalem rabbinate maintains an eiruv around the whole city, the Edah HaChareidis maintains its own eiruv around major portions of the city, and most chareidi neighborhoods have their own small eiruv with higher standards, some of which do not rely on the above-mentioned leniency of 600,000. Those which lack eruvin include non-Jewish communities like Arab, Bedouin or Druze towns, and some non-religious kibbutzim.
