Timorim ( _he. תימורים, pl. from the Hebrew root "rising", "tall") is a village in central Israel organized as a moshav shitufi and functioning also as a communal settlement for its community of non-members. Located on the Israeli coastal plain around a kilometer south of the Malakhi Junction, near the town of Kiryat Malakhi, it falls under the jurisdiction of Be'er Tuvia Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 710.

It was established in 1948 by a Gar'in of youth from South Africa, Romania and Egypt as a kibbutz on Shimron Hill in the Lower Galilee, in the area now covered by the communal settlement of Timrat. In 1953 it reorganized as a moshav shitufi, one of the first in the country. In 1954 the settlement moved to its current location due to a shortage of land at its original site.Cite book
