The Lesko Synagogue was a former Hasidic Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 16 Berka Joselewicza Street, in Lesko, in the Podkarpackie Voivodeship of Poland. The synagogue had functioned as a place of worship until 1942 when the building was deserted by the Nazis during World War II. In the 1980s the building was repurposed for use as part of the Muzeum Żydów Galicji (Museum of the Jews of Galicia), a Jewish history museum.
