Nahala (Hebrew: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />נַחֲלָה‎, lit. Estate) is a moshav in south-central Israel, a few kilometers north of Kiryat Gat and south of Kiryat Malakhi. It belongs to the Yoav Regional Council.

The community was founded in 1953 by immigrants to Israel from Yemen, but today contains a mixed population.[citation needed]

This community, along with the neighboring Menuha, are named for the Menuha VeNahala (Hebrew: מנוחה ונחלה‎) organization that founded Rehovot.[citation needed]

It was founded on land belonging to the Palestinian village of Summeil, which was depopulated in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.[1]
