Kfar Zeitim (Template:Lang-he-n, lit. Village of Olives) is a moshav in the Lower Galilee, Israel. It is adjacent to Tiberias and to the abandoned Palestinial village Hittin. It was established in 1950 by Jewish immigrants from Yemen, but some of them left the village later. Over the years, immigrants from Kurdistan have settled in the village.

The name of the village was given to it after the plantations of olives in the area.
