"We Are Both from the Same Village" (Hebrew: אנחנו שנינו מאותו הכפר, romanized: Anachnu Shnaynu Meoto Hakfar) is a memorial poem written in 1966 by the Israeli composer Naomi Shemer that she set to music in 1969 for it to be recorded by the Central Command Band. It tells about the friendship between two friends from the same village, one of whom was killed in battle.

The song is often played on Yom HaZikaron on the radio or live.
