Kfar Kisch (Hebrew: כְּפַר קִישׁ) is a moshav in northern Israel. Located adjacent to Mount Tabor, it falls under the jurisdiction of Lower Galilee Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 686.^[1]

It was established in 1946 by Jewish soldiers demobilised from the British Army after World War II having served under Frederick Kisch, after whom the village was named.^[2] However political fractures led many of the founders to leave within the first year. A water shortage which forced the residents to transport water from the Tabor stream without proper equipment added to the problems, and until 1953 a steady stream of founding residents left the village. In that year conditions improved and Kfar Kisch began to absorb Jewish immigrants from Poland, Hungary, and the Soviet Union.^{[citation needed]} Part of the village's land formerly belonged to the depopulated Palestinian village of Ma'dhar, south of the old village site.^[3]
