The Great Synagogue of Tallinn ( Estonian: Tallinna suur sünagoog) was an Orthodox Jewish synagogue, that was located in Maakri Street, Tallinn, Estonia. Nowadays, the Jews are using Tallinn Synagogue. ^[1]

The synagogue was built in 1884, and it was designed by Nikolai Thamm senior [ et]. ^[1]

The bombing of Tallinn in World War II in 1944, resulted in the synagogue burning; and in 1947, the synagogue was demolished. ^[1]
