The Polnische Schul (German pronunciation: [/ˈpɔlnɪʃə ˈʃuːl/], Polish: Synagoga Polska w Wiedniu, English: Polish synagogue) was an Orthodox Jewish synagogue, located in Leopoldsgasse, Vienna, Austria.

Designed by Wilhelm Stiassny and completed in 1892, the synagogue was built specifically for the Polish Jewish community[a] and was loaded with decorative elements and its Moorish Revival style distinguished it clearly from other buildings.[1] The synagogue had seats for 450 male and 317 female worshipers.[2]

The Polnische Schul was destroyed during the Kristallnacht in 1938.[3] Today a modern building stands there with a Tafel.
