Maitland Synagogue, Romanesque Revival synagogue in Maitland, Australia.

The Maitland Synagogue at 47 Church Street features solid brick construction with corbelled arcades, columns, quatrefoil windows, and round-headed arches.

The synagogue, constructed in 1879 by James Pritchard and designed by John W. Pender, stands as the oldest surviving synagogue outside Sydney in New South Wales.

The building reflects the significant Jewish presence in Maitland during the late 19th century, when the community contributed substantially to the region's commercial development.

The structure, registered on the New South Wales State Heritage Register since 1999, now functions as an occupational medicine services facility.

After its closure as a synagogue in 1898, the building served multiple purposes, including a private school, Masonic lodge, and dance hall during World War II.
