The Israeli Navy Band (Hebrew: להקת חיל הים, romanized: Lehakat Heyl Hayam) was a musical military ensemble of the Israeli Navy, part of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

The band was particularly successful between the Six-Day War in 1967 and the Yom Kippur War in 1973, during which period several of its songs achieved commercial success and became Israeli standards.
