Infobox instructions (only shown in preview)

HaKokhav HaBa (Hebrew: הכוכב הבא, lit.'The Next Star') is an Israeli interactive reality singing competition, created by Keshet Media Group and broadcast on Channel 2 (from 2013 to 2017) and on Channel 12 (since 2017). It is the basis of the Rising Star franchise. The show is a continuation of Kokhav Nolad (Hebrew: כוכב נולד, lit.'A Star Is Born') which featured aspiring singers competing for a winning title. The program's format combines the internet, smartphone and television and is filmed live. Between 2015 and 2020, and again since 2024, the show has been used to select Israel's representative for the Eurovision Song Contest.
