Kfar Aviv (Hebrew: כְּפַר אָבִיב, lit. Village of Spring) is a moshav in the South District of Israel, near Ashdod. It belongs to the Gederot Regional Council. In 2016 it had a population of 824.
Kfar Aviv was founded in 1952 by the Jewish Agency and was intended to absorb immigrants from Egypt. Its original name was Kfar HaYeor (Hebrew: כפר היאור; lit. 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 (Exodus 34:18). As time passed, the village absorbed families from Poland.
The land area used for farming covers about 2,000 dunams. Most inhabitants of the village work elsewhere.
