A moshav (; or 'villages') is a type of Israeli village or town or Jewish settlement, in particular a type of cooperative agricultural community of individual farms pioneered by the Labour Zionists between 1904 and 1914, during what is known as the Second Aliyah. A resident or a member of a moshav can be called a "moshavnik" (). There is an umbrella organization, the Moshavim Movement.
