Nachscholim (Hebrew נחשולים ) is a kibbutz in the Carmel coast in northern Israel with about 400 inhabitants. It was founded in 1948, immediately after the Israeli War of Independence, near the abandoned Arab village of Tantura. Because of its location by the sea, tourism is an important industry in the town.

The most striking building is the former glass factory of Baron Edmond de Rothschild, who was here to create bottles for his winery in Zichron Yaakov nearby. The building was soon abandoned and fell into disrepair. Today, the exterior walls remained standing house a museum with finds from the archaeological site of Tel Dor, which immediately north adjoins the kibbutz. Also, various items that were found by underwater archaeologists off the coast, are exhibited.
