Azrikam (Hebrew: עזריקם) is a moshav in central Israel. Located near Ashdod, it falls under the jurisdiction of Be'er Tuvia Regional Council. In 2007 it had a population of 1,100.
The moshav was established in 1950 on the ruins of a Palestinian village called Batnia by Olim from Tunisia, and was initially named Batnia B.[1] In the first few years, the moshav's residents lived in tents without electricity, water or gas.
