===Commemoration===
[[File:5 new sheqel note front.jpg|thumb|Eshkol on the [[Israeli new shekel|5 new sheqalim]] banknote]]
Since 1970, [[Yad Levi Eshkol]] is the official organization commemorating prime minister Eshkol. It holds educational activities in his memory, maintains his papers and personal archive, supports academic research relating to Eshkol and, since 2016, operates the historical building in Jerusalem that served as the former prime minister's residence and now houses a visitors' center in memory of Eshkol.

Numerous national sites have been named after him:
* [[Eshkol Regional Council]] in the north-western Negev.
* [[Eshkol National Park]] near [[Beersheba]].
* [[Eshkol Power Station]].
* [[Eshkol Water Filtration Plant]], the central water filtration facility of the [[National Water Carrier of Israel|National Water Carrier]].

Streets and neighborhoods have been named in his honor, among them the [[Ramat Eshkol]] neighborhood in Jerusalem. Several schools are also named after him, including [[HaKfar HaYarok]]. The Hebrew University of Jerusalem named the Agriculture Faculty in Levi Eshkol's name, as well as established a research institute in his name in the Faculty of Social Sciences.

Israel issued in 1970 a postage stamp with a portrait of Eshkol. In 1984 his image was chosen for the five-thousand [[old Israeli shekel]] bill, replaced in 1985 by the five [[new Israeli shekel]] bill. Since 1990, his image is found on a limited, yet circulated, minting of the five new Israeli shekel coin that replaced the bill.
