Bnei Re'em (Hebrew: בְּנֵי רְאֵ"ם, lit. Sons of Re'em) is a religious moshav in central Israel. Located in the Shephelah, it falls under the jurisdiction of Nahal Sorek Regional Council. In 2016 it had a population of 1,338.
The moshav is named for the Gerrer Rebbe, Rabbi Avraham Mordechai Alter. "Re'em" is a Hebrew acronym.
Bnei Re'em was established in 1949 by Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe and Jewish refugees from Yemen on the lands of the depopulated Palestinian village of Al-Masmiyya al-Kabira. Until a pump was installed that worked on an automated sabbath clock, an Arab family that lived in the area served as a Sabbath Goy.
