Falmouth Synagogue, Grade II listed synagogue in Falmouth, United Kingdom.

The synagogue building stands on Gyllyng Street with a view over Falmouth Harbor, featuring architectural elements from the early 19th century.

Built in 1806 during a period of merchant prosperity, the synagogue served the local Jewish community until its closure in 1879.

The synagogue's Torah scrolls and religious artifacts, including yadim and rimmonim, are now preserved in the Jewish Museum London and Royal Cornwall Museum.

The former religious building has been converted into residential spaces known as Summerhill Studio, with a commemorative plaque marking its historical significance.

The synagogue's strategic position allowed Jewish merchants to monitor their ships entering and leaving Falmouth Harbor during trading operations.
