Azrikam (Hebrew: עַזְרִיקָם) is a moshav in central Israel. Located near Ashdod, it falls under the jurisdiction of Be'er Tuvia Regional Council. In 2015 it had a population of 1,377.
The village is named after "Azrikam, a descendant of Zerubbabel". (1 Chronicles 3:23)
The moshav was established in 1950 on the lands of the depopulated Palestinian village of Batnia by Jewish immigrants from Tunisia, and was initially named Batnia B. In the first few years, the moshav's residents lived in tents without electricity, water or gas.
