Magshimim (Hebrew: מַגְשִׁימִים, lit. Dream fulfillers) is a moshav in central Israel. Located near Yehud, it falls under the jurisdiction of Drom HaSharon Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 771.

The moshav was formed in 1949 by demobilised IDF soldiers. They were later joined by other Israelis and immigrants from Poland.

Amongst other things, the moshav's economy is built on flower exports and manufacturing printers.[1]
