The Clandestine Immigration and Naval Museum (Template:Lang-he-n) is a technical history museum located in Haifa, Israel.

The museum covers the maritime history of Israel – from clandestine immigration during the British Mandate for Palestine through the history of the Israeli navy since its inception.

The museum is named after David HaCohen, one of the leaders of the Jewish Yishuv.[citation needed] It was established by Colonel Yoske Coral and opened to the public in 1969. The museum is run by the Israeli Ministry of Defense. It stands next to the Israeli National Maritime Museum, dedicated to maritime history and archaeology.
