Alumot ( _he. אֲלֻמּוֹת or Hebrew|אלומות, "lit." Sheafs) is a kibbutz in northern Israel. Located to the south of the Sea of Galilee, it falls under the jurisdiction of Emek HaYarden Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 241.

The community was formed by a kvutza of graduates of the Ben Shemen Agricultural School in 1936 in Zikhron Ya'akov. In 1940 they moved to the area which is today Poria Illit, where they established a temporary settlement named Poria Alumot and earnt a living from agriculture and a sanatorium named "Beit Alumot" after the kvutza. In 1947 they established a permanent settlement on a hill name Bitania Illit to the south of Poria Hill. However, problems with water and salt in the soil led it to be abandoned in 1967.

The following year the kibbutz was re-established by immigrants from Argentina.
