Carmel Shama-Hacohen (Hebrew: כרמל שאמה הכהן; born 16 August 1973) is an Israeli lawyer and politician.

He served as a member of the Knesset for Likud in two spells between 2009 and 2014, before becoming Israel's envoy to the OECD, UNESCO and the Council of Europe.

Born in Ramat Gan, Shama gained a law degree from the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya and is also a certified estate agent.

He was also a member of the city's audit commission, where he triggered a police investigation into mayor Zvi Bar over property deals.

Although he returned to the Knesset in June 2014 as a replacement for Reuven Rivlin after he was elected President,[5] Shama resigned on 6 August 2014 after becoming Israel's envoy to the OECD, UNESCO and the Council of Europe.
