Shomera (Hebrew: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />שׁוֹמֵרָה‎, lit. Guard) is a moshav in northern Israel. Located near the Lebanese border, it falls under the jurisdiction of Ma'ale Yosef Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 322.

The village was established in 1949 by immigrants from Hungary and Romania near the Arab village of Tarbikha which was depopulated in 1948. In 1950 they were joined by Jewish immigrants from Morocco. Its name reflects the moshav's proximity to the Lebanese border.

An Israel Defense Forces armory is located in the moshav.
