Protests over COVID-19 policies in Israel refer to the series of protests by various social and political groups since April 2020. The protests are opposing lockdowns, mandatory vaccines, government restriction policies and vaccinations in general. The protests coincided with similar demonstrations and riots worldwide, though some of the earlier protests were linked to the specific 2019–2021 Israeli political crisis.

From August 2021, the protests began organizing into a more cohesive structure, aligning several previously separate movements. From December 2021, the protests epicenter moved from Tel Aviv to the city of Raanana, the place of Prime Minister's residence.
