Israelite Bay is a bay and locality on the south coast of Western Australia.

Situated in the Shire of Esperance local government area, it lies east of Esperance and the Cape Arid National Park, within the Nuytsland Nature Reserve and the Great Australian Bight.[3] Point Malcolm is about 25 km (16 mi) west of Israelite Bay,[4] and there is a long sandy beach there.[5]

Climate data was recorded at Israelite Bay from 1885 to 1927, and it is frequently mentioned in Bureau of Meteorology weather reports as a geographical marker.[6]

It was the site of a significant telegraph station in the early 1900s.[7][8] It was also a location serviced by the W.A. Government State Steamship Service, the South Coast Service, in the early 1900s.[9]

The Eastern Group, the eastern-most islands of the Recherche Archipelago, identified by Matthew Flinders in January 1802,[10] is offshore of Israelite Bay.[11]
