Shibolim (Hebrew: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />שִׁבֳּלִים‎, lit. Ears) is a religious moshav in southern Israel. Located near Netivot and covering 4,000 dunams, it falls under the jurisdiction of Sdot Negev Regional Council. In 2008 it had a population of 350.

The village was established on 22 February 1952 by immigrants from Iran and Kurdistan, who had previously been living in Yakhini.
