Batumi Synagogue (Georgian: ბათუმის სინაგოგა, batumis sinagoga) is an Orthodox Jewish synagogue located in Batumi, Adjara, Georgia. The building was constructed in 1904 under the direction of Semyon Vulkovich, a prominent local Jewish leader.^[1]

The synagogue has historically served as the religious and cultural center of Batumi’s Jewish community. Its architecture reflects early 20th-century European influences, combined with local stylistic elements. Despite periods of closure during the Soviet era, the synagogue was preserved and later restored, resuming its role as a place of worship and community gathering.

Today, Batumi Synagogue remains active, offering religious services and functioning as a symbol of the enduring Jewish heritage in Georgia’s Black Sea region.
