The Shalem Center (Hebrew: מרכז שלם, Merkaz Shalem) was a Jerusalem research institute that supported academic work in the fields of philosophy, political theory, Jewish and Zionist history, Bible and Talmud, Middle East Studies, archaeology, economics, and strategic studies.

In its mission statement the Center wrote that "It seems that the entire Jewish people is suffering from an identity crisis", making its purpose to "provide a proper response to these processes".^[1] Due to the prestige the center was able to acquire, with time renowned academics of different political orientation have joined the ranks of its faculty.^[1]

The center became Shalem College in January 2013, when it received accreditation from the Council of Higher Education to offer Bachelor's degrees.^[1]
