Kafr Misr (Arabic: كفر مصر, Hebrew: כַּפְר מִצְר, lit. 'Egypt[ian] village') is an Arab village in northeastern Israel. Located near Afula to the south of the Sea of Galilee, it falls under the jurisdiction of Bustan al-Marj Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 2,828.[1]
The site of Kafr Misr has been inhabited from at least the late Roman period, with archeological excavations indicating the existence of Jewish, Christian and Muslim communities, at various periods. The village's jurisdiction in 1924 was about 3,300 dunams, but today it is about 1,000 dunams.[2]
