Kfar Monash ( _he. כפר מונש, lit. "Monash Village") is a moshav in central Israel. Located in the northern part of the Sharon plain and covering 2,700 dunams, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hefer Valley Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 785.

The moshav was founded in 1946 by Jewish former Australian servicemen, and was named after the Australian General of Jewish origin, Sir John Monash. It is known among archaeologists as the finding place of the Kfar Monash Hoard.
