Shomria (Hebrew: שׁוֹמְרִיָּה) is a kibbutz in southern Israel. Located near Lehavim, it falls under the jurisdiction of Bnei Shimon Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 376.
The kibbutz was established as a Nahal settlement in 1985. It later became a civilian settlement for members of Hashomer Hatzair. Following the implementation of the Gaza disengagement plan, 60 families from the former settlement of Bnei Atzmon moved to the kibbutz.[1]
