Bror Hayil (Template:Lang-he-n, lit. Soldiers' Inquiries) is a kibbutz in southern Israel. Located near Sderot, it fall under the jurisdiction of Sha'ar HaNegev Regional Council. In 2007 it had a population of 462.
The village was established on 10 April 1948 on Jewish National Fund land, with money from Keren HaYesod, although according to New Historian Benny Morris, the founding date was 18 May, with the intention of guarding the sole road between the centre of the country and the Negev. The founders were mostly immigrants from Egypt (including Eliyahu Moyal, later a member of the Knesset), though today most residents are immigrants from Brazil. It was the only Jewish village founded between the UN Partition Plan and the Israeli declaration of independence.
It was named for a Jewish settlement in the area from the era of the Second Temple, possibly a station for soldiers' inquiries.
The kibbutz was established on the land of a depopulated Palestinian village named Burayr.
Yehonatan Yifrah, another member of the Knesset, was also a member of the kibbutz.
