List of synagogues in Australia and New Zealand

This list of synagogues and Jewish congregations in Australia and New Zealand represents those known to have existed at some time in the history of Jewish communities in either the colonial or national periods of either countries.

Although many established congregations choose to build synagogues, Jewish congregations may also use existing, often residential, premises. In these cases only the interior is changed, leaving the exterior in its original design.Australian synagogue names
