The Klausen Synagogue is a former Jewish synagogue in Josefov, the historic Jewish quarter of Prague, Czech Republic. Its congregation was established in the 1570s. The present building was completed in 1884 after an earlier early Baroque synagogue in the ghetto was destroyed. Since 1984 it has been a museum administered by the Jewish Museum in Prague.
