The Bradford Reform Synagogue, located at 7 Bowland Street in Bradford, West Yorkshire, is a Moorish Revival building completed in 1881 for a Jewish congregation established four years earlier. Originally founded as the Jewish Association and later known as the Bradford Congregation of British & Foreign Jews, the congregation became affiliated with the Movement for Reform Judaism. The striking architectural style reflects the Victorian era's fascination with Islamic and North African design traditions, a popular choice for synagogues of the period. Designated a Grade II* listed building in 1989, the synagogue continues to serve its community, though now diminished in size, with services held for Shabbat, major festivals, and communal gatherings including Friday night dinners and Passover seders. Since 2018, the congregation has also been known as the Bradford Tree of Life Synagogue.
