Kerem Maharal (Hebrew: כֶּרֶם מַהֲרַ"ל, lit. Maharal Vineyard) is a moshav in northern Israel. Located near Atlit, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hof HaCarmel Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 566.
The moshav was established in 1949 by immigrants from the Czech part of Czechoslovakia. Built on the former lands of the depopulated Palestinian village of Ijzim which was captured by the IDF during Operation Shoter during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, it was named after Judah Loew ben Bezalel, also known as Maharal.
