The Rottweil Synagogue was a former Jewish congregation and synagogue, located in Rottweil, in the state of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Completed in 1861, the synagogue was destroyed by Nazis during Kristallnacht, on November 9, 1938. The desecrated synagogue is located in Kameralamtsgasse 6, former Judengasse, close to Kapellenkirche [de] and next to Bischöfliches Konvikt and gymnasium. The building was used as the Hartmut Benk driving school (German: Fahrschule) up until 2019.

In March 2015, the congregation began construction of a new synagogue.^[2]
