List of adventive wild plants in Israel refers to species of vascular plants in Israel that were either introduced there by human activity or are of a cultivated origin, and meet at least one of the following criteria:
- species which have reached a self-propagating (naturalized) status in Israel, reproducing without further human intervention
- species that appear in natural habitats
- cultivated species that escape from cultivation or persist long after being abandoned
The first table lists species which are unquestionably non-indigenous to Israel; a second table lists species whose native distribution in Israel is questionable.

“What is a country without rabbits and partridges? They are among the most simple and indigenous animal products; ancient and venerable families known to antiquity as to modern times; of the very hue and substance of Nature, nearest allied to leaves and to the ground,—and to one another; it is either winged or it is legged. It is hardly as if you had seen a wild creature when a rabbit or a partridge bursts away, only a natural one, as much to be expected as rustling leaves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
