The Kazinczy Street Synagogue (Hungarian: Kazinczy utcai zsinagóga), variously called the Sasz-Chevra Synagogue[1] and the Great Orthodox Synagogue[2] is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue complex, located at 29–31 Kazinczy Street, in Pest, in the VII district of Budapest, Hungary. The congregation worships in the Ashkenazi rite.

Completed in 1913, the synagogue is one of the most characteristic works of Hungarian synagogue architecture before World War I.[3] The complex includes the synagogue, beit midrash, a residence for the rabbi, a Jewish school, offices, restaurant and a kitchen.[4]
