The Edinburgh Synagogue is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 4a Salisbury Road in the Newington area of Edinburgh, Scotland, in the United Kingdom. Established in 1816 as the Edinburgh Hebrew Congregation, the congregation worships in the Ashkenazi rite, under the auspices of the Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth.
The current synagogue building was opened in 1932, replacing a converted chapel on Graham Street which had served as the synagogue since 1898.
