The Agoudas Hakehilos synagogue is located at 10 rue Pavée, Paris in the Le Marais quarter.

It was commissioned and funded by the Agoudas Hakehilos, a society of mainly wealthy Polish-Russian Orthodox immigrants headed by Joseph Landau. All the furnishings, chandeliers and benches were designed by Hector Guimard as well. It was inaugurated on 7 June 1914.
The facade resembles an open book.

After being destroyed in 1941, it was restored and registered as an official monument in 1989. The Star of David at the entrance was added during the restoration.
