Kfar Bilu (Hebrew: כְּפַר בִּיל"וּ, lit. Bilu Village) is a moshav in central Israel. Located between Rehovot and Kiryat Ekron, it falls under the jurisdiction of Gezer Regional Council. In December 2010 it had a population of 1,318.
The moshav was founded in 1932 as part of the Settlement of the Thousand plan by a group of workers known as the "Company of the South" (Hebrew: חבורת הדרום, Havurot HaDarom), who had been preparing in Rehovot. Its name commemorated fifty years since the first aliyah of Bilu members.
