The Neziner Congregation (Hebrew: אהבת אחים אנשי נזין נוסח הארי) was an unaffiliated Jewish congregation and synagogue, located in the Southwark neighborhood of South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the United States. The congregation was founded in 1896 by immigrants from the city of Nizhyn, Ukraine who met in members’ homes. The congregation purchased the building at 771 S 2nd Street in 1905 and held services and community events there until 1984 when it closed and merged with Temple Beth Zion-Beth Israel.

Built initially as a church, the former synagogue building was repurposed into residential apartments in 1987.
