The Joint List is an electoral alliance in Israel, initially established in 2015 to maximize representation under the Knesset's method of allocating seats in the 120-member body.

It is comprised of the four major Arab-dominated political parties: Hadash, the United Arab List, Balad, and Ta'al.

In the current Knesset they are the third-largest faction, having gained over 80 percent of Arab votes, and holding 13 seats in the Knesset.

Ideologically they are diverse but primarily comprised of liberal-leaning groups (communists, socialists, feminists, Islamists, and Palestinian nationalists). It is not united in support of Jewish-Arab cooperation: Hadash and the United Arab List generally support it while Balad and Ta'al strongly oppose it.
