Dor (Hebrew: דּוֹר) is a moshav in northern Israel. Located near Zikhron Ya'akov, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hof HaCarmel Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 465.[1]

Named after the ancient Phoenician city of Dor, the moshav was established in June 1948 on land of the recently depopulated Palestinian village of al-Tantura in the wake of the Tantura massacre.[2]
