Rabin Square (Hebrew: כיכר רבין, romanizedKikar Rabin), formerly Kings of Israel Square (Hebrew: כיכר מלכי ישראל, romanizedKikar Malkhey Yisrael), is a main large public city square in the center of Tel Aviv, Israel. Over the years it has been the site of numerous political rallies, parades, and other public events. In 1995, the square was renamed 'Rabin Square' following the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin which occurred there on November 4, 1995.[1]

The square is surrounded by the Tel Aviv City Hall to the north (designed by the architect Menachem Cohen), Ibn Gabirol Street to the east, Malkhey Yisrael (Kings of Israel) Street to the south and Hen Boulevard to the west. It was designed alongside the city hall in 1964 by architects Yaski and Alexandroni.
