Sdei Hemed ( _he. שְׂדֵי חֶמֶד, "lit." Pleasant Fields) is a moshav in central Israel. Located near Kfar Saba and covering 2,000 dunams, it falls under the jurisdiction of Drom HaSharon Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 773.

The moshav was founded in 1952 by city dwellers who wanted to change to an agricultural lifestyle. Its name is taken from Isaiah 32:12;

Smiting upon the breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine; [ [http://www.mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt1032.htm Isaiah Chapter 32] Mechon Mamre]
