Kfar Shmuel (Template:Lang-he-n, lit. Shmuel Village) is a moshav in central Israel. Located in the Shephelah around six kilometres south of Ramle, it falls under the jurisdiction of Gezer Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 664.

The moshav was founded on 4 January 1950 by immigrants from Romania, and was named after Stephen Samuel (Shmuel) Wise.

Kfar Shmuel was built on the ruins of the Palestinian village 'Innaba, which was occupied by Israeli forces on July 10, 1948.
