Nave Sha'anan (Hebrew: נווה שאנן) (lit. "Tranquil Oasis") is a large neighborhood in eastern Haifa, Israel that extends from the lower inclines of Mount Carmel to midway across its slopes. It borders the campus of the Technion.

In 2004, Nave Sha'anan had a population of 38,100[1], accounting for 14% of the city's total population. Smaller neighborhoods in Neve Sha'anan include Yad Labanim, Hanita, HaTikhon and Asher. Neve Sha'anan has a high percentage of religiously observant residents and immigrants from the former Soviet Union. Housing in Neve Sha'anan is much in demand by students and faculty of the Technion.

Neve Sha'anan was founded in 1922. Today it consists mainly of 3-4 story apartment buildings. The few remaining single-story houses are gradually being torn down and replaced with luxury 4-story apartment buildings. The Grand Canyon shopping mall is located in Neve Sha'anan (the name is a play on words, since "Kanyon" means mall in Hebrew).
