Emunim (Hebrew: אֱמוּנִים‎, lit. the faithful) 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 934.

The moshav was founded in 1950 by immigrants from Egypt, on the land of the depopulated Arab town of Bayt Daras. The main source of income for the residents was animal and arable farming.

Like many of the other moshavim in the area, its name is symbolic and taken from the Tanakh, Psalm 31:23: "the Lord preserves the faithful".
