The National Maritime Museum (Hebrew: המוזיאון הימי הלאומי, HaMuze'on HaYami HaLe'umi) in Haifa, Israel was founded in 1953. It is based on the private collection of its founder and first director, Aryeh Ben- Eli.
In 1972, the museum moved to its current premises near the northern beach-head of Mount Carmel, near the Israeli Clandestine Immigration and Naval Museum and Elijah's Cave, between Stella Maris and Bat Galim neighborhoods.
