The Tartu Synagogue (Estonian: Tartu sünagoog) was an Orthodox Jewish synagogue, that was located in Tartu, Estonia.[1]

The synagogue was built in 1903 and was designed by a local architect R. Pohlmann.[1]

The synagogue was destroyed during World War II. Many of the synagogue's items were saved and can be seen in Estonian National Museum.[1]
