Nir Moshe (Hebrew: נִיר מֹשֶׁה, lit. Moshe's Meadow) is a moshav in southern Israel. Located in the north-western Negev south-east of Sderot with an area of 2,000 dunams, it falls under the jurisdiction of Merhavim Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 362.
The moshav was established in 1953 by former city dwellers from Jerusalem, Haifa and Herzliya, and was initially named Shoval Mizrachi 1, before being renamed after Moshe Smiliansky, an author and agronomist.
