Komemiyut (Hebrew: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />קוֹמְמִיּוּת‎, eng. Erect) is an ultra-orthodox-Hasidic moshav in south-central Israel. Located in the southern Shephelah near Kiryat Gat, it falls under the jurisdiction of Shafir Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 248.
