  Based on the recent, high precision data for elastic electron scattering from
protons and deuterons, at relatively large momentum transfer $Q^2$, we
determine the neutron electric form factor up to $Q^2=3.5$ GeV$^2$. The values
obtained from the data (in the framework of the nonrelativistic impulse
approximation) are larger than commonly assumed and are in good agreement with
the Gari-Kr\"umpelmann parametrization of the nucleon electromagnetic form
factors.
