In this paper, with the help of averaged mappings, we introduce and study a hybrid iterative method to approximate a common solution of a split equilibrium problem and a fixed point problem of a finite collection of nonexpansive mappings. We prove that the sequences generated by the iterative scheme strongly converges to a common solution of the above-said problems. We give some numerical examples to ensure that our iterative scheme is more efficient than the methods of Plubtieng and Punpaeng (
