Tel Shikmona (Hebrew: תל שִׁקְמוֹנָה, romanized: Šiqmônah), or Tell es-Samak (Arabic: تل السمك, romanized: Tell as-Samak), also spelt Sycamine, is an ancient Phoenician tell (mound) situated near the sea coast in the modern city of Haifa, Israel, just south of the Israeli National Institute of Oceanography. It has been called a "forgotten Phoenician site". Nowadays researchers identify Tell es-Smak with Porphyreon (south).
