The Sunderland Synagogue, located on Ryhope Road in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, is a Grade II listed building designed in the Byzantine Revival style. Established by the Sunderland Hebrew Congregation in 1861, the synagogue served an Orthodox Jewish community following the Ashkenazi rite until the congregation's dissolution in 2006. The building was formally recognized as Grade II listed in 1999, preserving its architectural significance as an example of nineteenth-century Byzantine Revival design adapted for religious use in northern England.
