The White Synagogue of Joniškis (Lithuanian: Joniškio Baltoji sinagoga) is a former Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 4a Miesto Square, in Joniškis, in the Šiauliai County of Lithuania. Called the Summer synagogue; it was designed by Saulutė Domanskienė in the Classical Revival and Romanesque Revival styles, and was completed in 1823. The building operated as a synagogue until it was devastated by Nazis in 1941.
Subsequently used for profane purposes, the building was restored from 2011 and has been repurposed as a cultural center since 2014. The former synagogue was located adjacent to the Red Synagogue of Joniškis.
