Mishmar HaShlosha (Hebrew: משמר השלושה) (lit. Sentinel of the Three) is a moshav in the Lower Galilee. It is located in the Yavnel Valley near the moshava of Yavne'el.[1][2] Mishmar HaShlosha became part of the Yavne'el local council in 1953.

The moshav was founded on 13 April 1937 on lands purchased by the Palestine Jewish Colonization Association. It was a Tower and stockade settlement, established to populate the region between Beit Gan and Yavne'el.[3][4][5]

The village was named for three residents of Yavne'el, Moshe Zalman Ben-Sasson, Yehuda Aliovic and Gedaliah Geller, who walked from Beit Gan towards Yavne'el and were murdered by Arabs on the way.[5]
