Kfar Pines (Hebrew: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />כְּפַר פִּינֶס, lit. Pines Village) is a religious moshav in northern Israel. Located to the north-east of Hadera, adjacent to Pardes Hanna-Karkur and Ein Iron, it falls under the jurisdiction of Menashe Regional Council. In 2007 it had a population of 985.
The village was established in 1933 by immigrants from eastern Europe, and was named after the author Rabbi Yehiel Michal Pines. It hosts an ulpena, a religious girls high school, named "Ramat Karniel" (Karniel's height). It is the first ulpena in Israel and therefore it called "Em Haulpenot" (mother of all ulpenas).
