HaAh HaGadol 1 (Hebrew: האח הגדול 1, lit. The Big Brother 1) is the first series of the Israeli version of the reality show Big Brother. The show was first broadcast on Channel 2 on 1 September 2008, and ended on 16 December 2008. Erez Tal and Assi Azar co-host the show.

The show aired on Sunday and Tuesday nights. In addition to the main show broadcast on Channel 2, there was a 24-hour live stream on the HOT channel 20, and also on the Internet via Mako. Internet viewers could choose which camera images they want to view, while HOT viewers could only see camera images chosen by the Big Brother staff.

Sixteen housemates entering the house during the launch show and another four joined after 56 days. The housemates competed for a one million shekel prize. The housemates included a set of non-identical twin brothers and a father and daughter.

The house was located in Neve Ilan, a suburb of Jerusalem. The house was equipped with 50 surveillance cameras which were operated by the Big Brother in-house staff.
