Nahal Tavor (Hebrew: נחל תבור‎; Arabic: وادي البيره‎, Wadi al-Bireh), lit. Tabor Stream, is an intermittent stream in the Lower Galilee, Israel.

The stream starts in the hills of Nazareth, east of the city, and runs east and south of Mount Tabor, where it turns east and then empties into the Jordan River between Gesher and Belvoir Fortress.

Three springs feed the stream within the boundaries of the Nahal Tavor Nature Reserve: Ein Rechesh, Ein Ze'ev, and Ein Shachal. Ein Rechesh is near Tel Rechesh, an archaeological tell thought to be Anaharath, a town mentioned in the description of one of Thutmose III's campaigns, and also in Joshua 19:19, describing the allotment of the Tribe of Issachar.

Near Kibbutz Gazit, the stream runs through a basalt canyon.
