Shoshanat HaAmakim ( _he. שושנת העמקים, lit. "Lily of the Valleys") is a communal settlement in central Israel. Located to the north-west of Netanya, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hefer Valley Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 537.

The village was established in 1951 and was built by the Rassco company. Its name is taken from the Song of Songs 2:1;

I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys. [ [http://www.mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt3002.htm Song of Songs Chapter 2] Mechon Mamre]

From modern Hebrew, this can also be translated as "lily of Sharon, a rose of the valleys".
