Nir Galim (Hebrew: נִיר גַּלִּים‎‎, lit. Waves Meadow) is a religious moshav shitufi in south-central Israel, adjacent to the city of Ashdod. Located in the southern coastal plain, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hevel Yavne Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 617.

The village was established in 1949, and was initially called Nir VeGal (Hebrew: ניר וגל‎, lit. Meadow and Wave). The founders were Holocaust survivors from Hungary and Central Europe.
