Tel Yitzhak (Hebrew: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />תֵּל יִצְחָק‎, lit. Yitzhak Hill) is a kibbutz in central Israel. Located in the coastal plain to the south-east of Netanya, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hof HaSharon Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 851.

The kibbutz was established in 1938 by immigrants from Galicia as part of the tower and stockade settlement campaign. It was named after Yitzhak Steiger, a leader of Hanoar Hatzioni in Galicia.

Masua, a center for Holocaust research and commemoration, was established on the kibbutz.[1]

Nature reserve

Southwest of the kibbutz is an 8-dunam nature reserve established in 1968[2] to protect flora and fauna native to the Sharon plain.[3] Flora includes Carob trees, Calicotome villosa, Thymelaea hirsuta, Prasium majus, Anagyris, and Lavender.
