Neve Yamin (Hebrew: נְוֵה יָמִין‬) is a moshav in central Israel. Located near Kfar Saba and covering 3,300 dunams, it falls under the jurisdiction of Drom HaSharon Regional Council. In 2017 it had a population of 1,186.[1]

History

The moshav was formed in 1950 by immigrants from Greece, Iraq, Libya, Persia and North Africa on the land of the Palestinian village of Kafr Saba, which was depopulated in May 1948.[2]

Its name is derived from Benjamin (Hebrew: בִּנְיָמִין or נבי ימין‎).
