Nahal Gush Halav (Hebrew: נַחַל גּוּשׁ חָלָב) is a short, intermittent stream in the Upper Galilee, originating at an elevation of approximately 830 meters above sea level, near Lake Dalton, and ending at its confluence with Nahal Dishon.[1]

The stream's course is northwest, passing through a narrow valley at the foot of the village of Jish. Along the streambed, there are remains of an ancient synagogue, remnants of flour mills, and several springs.[2]

Near the "Ein Halav" spring, between Mount Shifra and Mount Pua, the stream joins the narrow channel of Nahal Dishon. The stream is named after the city from the Second Temple period and the Talmudic period, Gush Halav, which was located at this site.[2]
