The Severn Street Synagogue is a former Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 60 Severn Street, Birmingham, West Midlands, England, in the United Kingdom. The congregation was founded in 1809 and worshiped in the Ashkenazi rite until the congregation was merged into the Singers Hill Synagogue congregation in 1856.

The former synagogue building was completed in 1813 and was used until the Singers Hill Synagogue building was completed. The Severn Street property was sold to the Freemasons in 1856 and subsequently used as the Athol Masonic Hall. The building was listed as a Grade II building in 2006.[2][3]
