The Smíchov Synagogue (Czech: Smíchovská synagoga) is a former Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at Stroupežnického 32, Smíchov, in Prague, in the Czech Republic. Completed in 1863, the former synagogue was remodelled in 1931 in the Functionalist style. After the World War II, the building was used for secular purposes because the Smíchov Jewish community ceased to exist in the Shoah. Since 1998, the building has been used as an archive of the Jewish Museum in Prague.

In 1990, the building was listed as a National Cultural Monument of the Czech Republic.
