The Malmö Synagogue ({{langx|sv|Malmö synagoga}}, {{Langx|he|בית הכנסת של מאלמו}}) is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located on Föreningsgatan, Malmö, in Skåne County, Sweden. The synagogue was designed by John Smedberg in the Art Nouveau and Moorish Revival styles and completed in 1903.

The synagogue is one of the few surviving synagogues in Europe built in a Moorish Revival style, as most of them were destroyed during Kristallnacht 1938.{{cite web |url=http://malmomuseer.se/thumbnails.php?album=45 |title=Malmö museer |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090607043159/http://malmomuseer.se/thumbnails.php?album=45 |archive-date=2009-06-07 |language=sv}}{{cite web |url=http://jfm.se/kort-historik.html |title=Judiska församlingen i Malmö |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090221025106/http://jfm.se/kort-historik.html |archive-date=21 February 2009 |language=sv }}{{cite web |url=http://www.lansstyrelsen.se/skane/Kartor_och_planeringsunderlag/Kulturmiljoprogram/Skanes_historia_och_utveckling/Religiosa_landskap/Judendomen_i_Skane.htm |title=Länsstyrelsen i Skåne län |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091004040127/http://www.lansstyrelsen.se/skane/Kartor_och_planeringsunderlag/Kulturmiljoprogram/Skanes_historia_och_utveckling/Religiosa_landskap/Judendomen_i_Skane.htm |archive-date=2009-10-04 |language=sv }} At the inauguration of Malmö Synagogue, it was Malmö's first non-Christian place of worship. Malmö has two Jewish cemeteries: one section in the northern part of Sankt Pauli kyrkogård and another, newer section in Östra kyrkogården.

In 2021, the synagogue attracted approximately 5,000 visitors per annum.{{Cite web |last=Christoffersson |first=Tobias |date=2021-10-07 |title=Synagogan välkomnar besökare på nytt sätt |url=https://malmo.se/Aktuellt/Artiklar-Malmo-stad/2021-10-07-Synagogan-valkomnar-besokare-pa-nytt-satt.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220214113832/https://malmo.se/Aktuellt/Artiklar-Malmo-stad/2021-10-07-Synagogan-valkomnar-besokare-pa-nytt-satt.html |archive-date=2022-02-14 |access-date=14 February 2022 |publisher=Malmö Municipality |language=sv}}
