The High Synagogue was a former Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, also known as the Tall Synagogue, located at Jozefa 38 Street, in the Kazimierz district of Kraków, in the Małopolskie Voivodeship of Poland.

Completed in 1563 in the late Renaissance style, the synagogue served as a house of prayer until World War II when its interior was destroyed by Nazis in 1939. Renovations of the synagogue occurred in 1863; and during 1970 and 1971. Since 2005, the former synagogue has operated as a Jewish museum.
