The Eldridge Street Synagogue is an Orthodox Jewish synagogue located at 12 Eldridge Street in Chinatown, in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, in New York City, New York, in the United States. Built in 1887, the National Historic Landmark is one of the first synagogues erected in the United States by Eastern European Jews.

The Orthodox congregation that constructed the synagogue moved into the downstairs beth midrash in the 1950s, and the main sanctuary was unused until the 1980s, when it was restored to become the Museum at Eldridge Street.
