Yad Natan (Hebrew: יַד נָתָן, lit. Memorial for Natan) is a moshav in southern Israel in Hevel Lakhish, near the town of Kiryat Gat. It is part of the Lakhish Regional Council. The moshav was founded in 1953 by Jewish immigrants from the Hungarian youth movement HaNoar HaTzioni as part of the effort to settle the region. It was named after Ottó Komoly (his Hebrew birth name was Natan Kohn), a leader of the Zionist movement in Hungary, who was murdered in 1945, apparently for anti-Semitic reasons.
