The New Synagogue, also called Scheinbach’s Synagogue, is a former Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at Juliusza Słowackiego 15, in Przemyśl, in the Podkarpackie Voivodeship of Poland. Designed by Stanisław Majerski and completed in 1918, the synagogue served as a house of prayer until World War II when it was desecrated by Nazis in 1939.

Since 1967, the building has been used as the Ignacy Krasicki Przemyśl Public Library.
