Moshav Kfar Hittim (Hebrew: כְּפַר חִטִּים‎) is literally village of wheat.

Kfar Hittim lies near a famous battleground of the Third Crusade. In 1187, the Muslim warrior Saladin defeated the Crusader army in the Battle of Hittin, leading to the siege and defeat of the Crusaders who controlled Jerusalem. The twin hills and valley where the battle took place are known as Karnei Hittim (Horns of Hittin).

In 2008, it was announced that a $150 million golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr. would be built on land owned by the moshav.
