Re'im (Hebrew: רעים, lit. Friends) is a kibbutz in southern Israel. Located at the confluence of Nahal Besor and Nahal Gerer in the north-western Negev desert, it falls under the jurisdiction of Eshkol Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 339.
The kibbutz was established in 1944 by former Palmach members and was initially called Tel Re'im (Hebrew: תל רעים, lit. Hill of Friends) after the Arabic translation of the nearby archaeological site of Tell Jemmeh.
The kibbutz's economy is based on agriculture and its laser factory.
