Hahotrim (Hebrew: הַחוֹתְרִים, lit. The Rowers) is a kibbutz in northern Israel. Located near Tirat Carmel, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hof HaCarmel Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 516.^{[citation needed]}

The beginnings of the kibbutz were in 1942, with the formation of a work company near Kiryat Haim.^{[citation needed]} In 1948 they moved into homes in the German colony, before establishing the kibbutz in 1952.^{[citation needed]} Its name was derived from the ambitions of the founders to work in fishing.^{[citation needed]}

The kibbutz was established on the land of a depopulated Palestinian village named Al-Tira in June 1948.
