'''Kfar Azar''' ({{langx|he|כְּפַר אֲזָ״ר}}) is a [[moshav]] ovdim located in the [[Ono Valley]] in central [[Israel]]. Previously part of [[Ef'al Regional Council]], in 2007 it was transferred to the municipality of [[Ramat Gan]] together with [[Ramat Ef'al]]. With an area of around {{convert|1000|acre|km2}}, its population is around 500.

The moshav was established in December 1932 by two pioneer groups, Brenner and Ma'ash. Land was purchased adjacent to the Arab village [[al-Khayriyya]], and was later supplemented by more land bought by the [[Jewish National Fund]]. The name "Azar" was given to the moshav as an acronym for Alexander Ziskind Rabinovitz, a Jewish Russian writer, who celebrated his eightieth birthday in the year the moshav was established.<ref>Hareouveni, Emanouel (1974). ''The Settlements of Israel and Their Archaeological sites'' (in Hebrew). Israel: Hakibbutz Hameuchad. p. 175</ref>

The population at the end of 1951 was 375.<ref>State of Israel, Government Year-Book 5713 (1952), p. X</ref>
