Talmei Yaffe (Hebrew: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />תַּלְמֵי יָפֶה‎, lit. Yaffe Furrows) is a moshav shitufi in southern Israel. Located near Ashkelon, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hof Ashkelon Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 139.

The moshav was founded in 1950 as a kibbutz by immigrants from Poland and Romania on the former lands of the abandoned Arab village of Barbara, and was named after Leib Yaffe, the director-general of Keren Hayesod who was killed in a car bombing in Jerusalem in 1948. In 1961 it was converted to a moshav shitufi.

In 2005, some families evacuated from settlements in Gush Katif in the wake of the Gazan disengagement plan were resettled in Talmei Yaffe.[1]
