Amikam (Hebrew: עַמִּיקָם) is a moshav in northern Israel. Located near Zikhron Ya'akov, it falls under the jurisdiction of Alona Regional Council, whose headquarters are located in the moshav. In 2014 it had a population of 717. West of the moshav is the Alona Park.
The moshav was established in 1950 by Jewish refugees from Harbin, Manchuria and Shanghai, China, who had fled the Chinese Civil War. The land had belonged to the depopulated Arab village of Sabbarin.
The founders were later joined by Jews from the Cyprus concentration camps, and followed by Yemenite Jews. In 1956, a group of Polish Jewish immigrants settled on the moshav. Some of the families engage in fruit farming, raising peaches, plums, nectarines and loquats. Children attend the local Tali Alona elementary school.

I did my best to hold onto
My promise of forever
Well you don't even care
About the "I love you" I whispered
So I'm takin' it back
Takin' it back
I'm tired of your lies
And I caught your act
You don't get Jill
When you don't give Jack
You broke my heart
Now I'm takin' it back
I held my arms wide open for you
When you needed shelter
Now you've gone and done me wrong
You hit the hand that held you
So I'm takin' it back
Takin' it back
I'm tired of your lies
And I caught your act
You don't get Jill
When you don't give Jack
You broke my heart
Now I'm takin' it back
Love must be
A two-way street
Or I don't want it
I won't stay on it
It ain't the road for me
Someday you'll know what you had
When you come to your senses
But you can't have my love again
Unless you're reminiscing
So I'm takin' it back
Takin' it back
I'm tired of your lies
And I caught your act
You don't get Jill
When you don't give Jack
You broke my heart
