The New Synagogue (), officially the New Synagogue of Tłomackie (), was a former Jewish congregation and synagogue, that was located on the corner of Nowa and Waryńskiego Streets, in Tarnów, in the Lesser Poland Voivideship of Poland.

The synagogue was designed by Władysław Ekielski in the Moorish Revival style, commenced in 1865 and completed in 1908, the lack of funds delayed timely construction. The synagogue served as a house of prayer until World War II when it was set on fire by the Nazis in November 1939. The fire lasted three days but the building did not collapse; it was blown up instead.

The only remnant of the synagogue, a pillar, was preserved as an element of the monument in the Jewish cemetery in Tarnów. In September 1993, the Committee for the Protection of Monuments of Jewish Culture from Tarnów placed a plaque on a building at the corner of Nowa and Waryńskiego Streets. The inscription, in Polish and Hebrew, reads:
