Nahshonim (Hebrew: נחשונים‎, lit. Pioneers) is a kibbutz in central Israel. Located in the south of the Sharon plain near Rosh HaAyin, it falls under the jurisdiction of Drom HaSharon Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 310.

The kibbutz was founded in 1949 by a group largely made up of Egyptian immigrants,[1] as well as a few native Israelis. It is well known in Israel for its motor park and the "Nahshonit" entertainment park.
