Nahala (Hebrew: נַחֲלָה, lit. Estate) is a moshav in south-central Israel. Located a few kilometers north of Kiryat Gat and south of Kiryat Malakhi., it falls under the jurisdiction of Yoav Regional Council. In 2015 it had a population of 588.
The community was founded in 1953 by immigrants to Israel from Yemen on land belonging to the Palestinian village of Summeil, which was depopulated in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, but today contains a mixed population. Along with the neighboring Menuha, it was named for the Menuha VeNahala (Hebrew: מנוחה ונחלה) organization that founded Rehovot.
