Neve Ativ (Hebrew: נווה אטיב‎) is a small Israeli moshav in the Golan Heights, founded in 1972, and located on the slopes of Mount Hermon two kilometres west of Majdal Shams. Today, about 37 families live there. The name Ativ is an acronym for four fallen soldiers from the Egoz Reconnaissance Unit killed in action: Avraham Hameiri, Tuvia Ellinger, Yair Elegarnty, and Binyamin Hadad.

The main industry of the moshav is tourism. Neve Ativ operates the ski resort on Mount Hermon and is the closest organized lodging area for visitors to the area.
