The Paravur Synagogue, also known as the Parur Synagogue, is a former Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located on Jewish Street in North Paravur, in the state of Kerala, India. The former synagogue is one of the largest and most complete among the Jewish synagogues in Kerala.

Built by the Malabar Jews, it has undergone successive phases of destruction and reconstruction. The present synagogue complex dates from 1616 CE, but it was built on top of a much older building speculated to have been constructed as early as 750 CE or 1105 CE, making it one of the oldest synagogues in India and the Commonwealth of Nations. The former synagogue is closed for worship. It has been renovated by the Government of Kerala and, in 2014, was opened to the public as the Kerala Jews History Museum, a Jewish museum.
