The kibbutz Ma'agan Micha'el (Hebrew מעגן מיכאל ) is located at the southern end of the Carmel coast, southwest of Zichron Yaakov Israeli city on the Mediterranean.

At the site of today's settlement, which was founded in 1949, were up in the 1930s swamps that were drained by Jewish pioneers. In these marshes survived until around 1900 crocodiles; south of the kibbutz in Israel today, the last crocodile was shot in the Nahal HaTaninim ( " crocodile river "). Remains of the marshes, V.A. at the mouth of Nahal HaTaninim, are today a nature reserve.

Since Ma'agan Micha'el unlike many other kibbutzim is economically relatively successful, he is not threatened by migration of its inhabitants. Among the living in Ma'agan Micha'el people are a lot of young people; each year about 20 children are born. Ma'agan Micha'el had 2007 1400 inhabitants according to figures from the Israeli Central Bureau of statistics at the end of the year.
