The White Stork Synagogue (Polish: Synagoga Pod Białym Bocianem) is a Conservative Jewish congregation and synagogue, located in Wrocław, in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship of Poland. Designed by Carl Ferdinand Langhans in the Neoclassical style and completed in 1829, the synagogue is located in the city's center, which was the northern edge of the former Jewish district.

Rededicated in 2010 after a decade-long renovation, it is the religious and cultural centre of the local Jewish community, under the auspices of the Union of Jewish Religious Communities in Poland.[3][4] It is the only synagogue in Wrocław to have survived Conservative Judaism during the Holocaust.[5]
