Israelite Bay is a bay and locality on the south coast of Western Australia, frequently mentioned in Bureau of Meteorology weather reports as a geographical marker. Climate data was recorded from 1885 to 1927.[1]

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.[2]

It was the site of a significant telegraph station in the early 1900s.[3][4] It was also a location serviced by the W.A. Government State Steamship Service South Coast Service in the early 1900s.[5]

The Eastern Group, the eastern-most islands of the Recherche Archipelago, first identified by Matthew Flinders in January 1802,[6] is offshore of Israelite Bay.[7]
