Khomer Mekomi (חומר מקומי) (lit. "local material") is Hadag Nahash's third studio album, released in 2004.

The album features "Shirat HaSticker" (The Sticker Song), whose lyrics are based on bumper stickers in Israel. The lyrics were written by Israel novelist David Grossman.

It also features the first use of English on a Hadag Nahash record: Most of the opening song, Mitkhamem is in English.
