Government Naming Committee^[1] (Hebrew: ועדת השמות הממשלתית, sometimes referred as National Naming Committee or Government Names Committee)^[2] is a public committee appointed by the Government of Israel, which deals with the designation of names for communities and other points on the map of Israel, and the replacement of Arabic names that existed until 1948 with Hebrew names. The committee's decisions bind state institutions.

In the naming process, the committee relies on historical pre-Arabic Hebrew and other names, the translation of Arabic names, and giving a Hebrew form to Arabic names.
