Sde Moshe (Hebrew: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />שְׂדֵה מֹשֶׁה, lit. Moshe Field) is a moshav in Hevel Lakhish, about 3 km east of Kiryat Gat, in south-central Israel. It belongs to the Lakhish Regional Council.
Sde Moshe was founded in 1956 as part of a movement from the city to the village, on land of the depopulated Arab village Iraq al-Manshiyya. It is named after Baron Maurice de Hirsch, whose Hebrew name was Moshe, and who was one of the founders of the Jewish Colonization Association. It was originally named "Sde Yeshayahu."
