The Mouansa Synagogue ({{langx|ar|معبد موانسة}}) is a former Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located in the village of Mouansa, located just west of Zarzis, Tunisia, in North Africa.{{cite web |url=https://www.impressivetunisia.com/en/tunisia-events/zarzis/ |title=Zaris, an impressive town to discover:Synagogue Mouansa |work=Impressive Tunisia |date= |access-date=13 September 2024 }}

The synagogue, together with the nearby Jewish cemetery, is all that remains of the Jewish community of the village after the Jewish exodus from Tunisia that accelerated after attacks in 1967.{{cite book |last1=Fischbach |first1=Michael |title=Jewish Property Claims Against Arab Countries |date=2008 |publisher=Columbia University Press |isbn=978-0-231-13538-2 |pages=90–91}}
