Congregation Ahavath Achim (transliterated from Hebrew as "Brotherly Love") is a Modern Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located in Fairfield, Connecticut, in the United States.

Established as a congregation in 1904, the congregation's first synagogue building, located at 725 Hancock Avenue in Bridgeport, was completed in 1926, vacated in the 1960s, and was subsequently used a Christian church.[2]

This former synagogue was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 11, 1995, as "West End Congregation--Achavath [sic] Achim Synagogue", as part of a multiple property listing of fifteen historic synagogues in Connecticut.[1]
