The Stara Synagogue, also known as Alte Szil and Alt Stodt Shul meaning Old Town Synagogue, was a former Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 20 Wolborska Street, in Łódź, in the Łódź Voivodeship of Poland. Designed by Adolf Zeligson in the Moorish Revival style and completed in 1900, the synagogue served as a house of prayer until World War II when it was destroyed by Nazis on 15–16 November 1939. It was the third synagogue built in Łódź by the congregation.
