The Türkischer Tempel (English: Turkish Temple) was a Jewish synagogue, located at Zirkusgasse 22, in Vienna, Austria. It was built specifically for a community of Sephardi Jews, who originally came from Turkey.[1]

The synagogue opened in 1887. It was designed in a Turkish, almost Islamic style, with a dome. The building was destroyed during the Kristallnacht in 1938.[2]
