Kfar Aviv ( _he. כפר אביב, lit. "Village of Spring") is a moshav in the South District of Israel, near Ashdod. It belongs to the Gederot Regional Council.

Kfar Aviv was founded in 1952 by the Jewish Agency. It was intended to absorb immigrants to Israel from Egypt. Its original name was "Kfar HaYeor" (Hebrew: כפר היאור; translation: village of the Nile). The name "Kfar Aviv" was given as a reference to the Exodus of the Jews from Egypt, which occurred in spring as recorded in the Torah. As time passed, the village absorbed families from Poland.Cite book
