Dvir (Hebrew: דְּבִיר), also known as Dvira (Hebrew: דְּבִירָה), is a kibbutz in southern Israel. Located near Rahat and Beersheba, it falls under the jurisdiction of Bnei Shimon Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 406.

The kibbutz was established in 1951 by Hashomer Hatzair members from Hungary and took its name from the Biblical city of Dvira (Joshua 21:15) that was located in the area. The original residents were joined by immigrants from South America.
